Definition
Reliability in AI refers to the trustworthiness and consistency of a system’s behavior over time and across different inputs. A reliable AI system should produce accurate results, handle edge cases gracefully, and avoid catastrophic failures. It encompasses aspects like robustness against adversarial attacks, stability in dynamic environments, and predictability of outcomes. Ensuring reliability is critical for deploying AI in high-stakes domains such as healthcare, autonomous driving, and finance, where errors can have severe consequences.
