A number showing how strongly an AI favors a particular prediction.
Example
AI gives one predicted group a score of 0.9.
Why people use it
It gives a numerical clue about how strongly AI favors one answer.
What you'll hear
“What does this 90% score mean?”
What this means for you
Ask what the number means before treating it as a 90% chance.
Can you control it?
No
No direct control. This describes a wider issue, concept or result rather than something you can simply switch on or off in a tool.
Common questions
- Does 0.9 always mean a 90% chance of being correct?
- No. The service must explain the score and show that it matches real-world chances before that interpretation is justified.
- Can the highest-scoring choice still be weak?
- Yes. It may only be the best of several poor options.
- Can scores from different systems be compared directly?
- Not always. They may be calculated differently or mean different things.
