A black-box algorithm is an algorithm for which a user can only propose data as input and observe the outputs that result a priori causally from these inputs. ... a priori, because an algorithm can quite possibly respond with a fixed or random value regardless of its inputs.

Un algorithme en boîte noire est un algorithme pour lequel un utilisateur ne peut simplement que proposer des données en entrée et observer les sorties qui résultent à priori causalement de ces entrées. [...] A priori, car un algorithme peut tout à fait répondre par une valeur fixe ou aléatoire quelles que soient ses entrées.
