Uncertainty

Noun · AI & Machine Learning

Definitions

  1. A measure or acknowledgment of how unsure an AI system is about an answer, prediction, or decision. Handling uncertainty well is important because systems should not present weak guesses with unjustified confidence.

    In plain English: How unsure the AI system is about its answer or prediction.

    Example: "The assistant was redesigned to express uncertainty more clearly when retrieved evidence was thin or conflicting."
