AI Definitions: Deterministic System
/Deterministic System - A deterministic system follows predefined logic: the rules are set out ahead of time to create a consistent output. On the other hand, a non-deterministic system can produce different outcomes even when the input is the same. The system selects the workflow rather than the user. Since generative AI is non-deterministic, it’s important to talk in term of probabilistic behavior, interpretation, and uncertainty. Some AI products combine both deterministic and non-deterministic systems, shifting depending on which one should be in control.
