Regression in AI

Definitions

1. A deterioration in AI system behavior after a change such as a new model, prompt, index, or configuration update. AI regressions may appear as lower quality, worse latency, more refusals, or new safety problems.

   In plain English: A change that makes an AI system perform worse than it did before.

   Example: "The rollout was halted after a regression in AI behavior caused grounded answers to become noticeably less consistent in enterprise workflows."
