What is structured artificial intelligence output?
Definition
Structured artificial intelligence output specifies the fields, headings, types or ordering a model should return. A fixed summary structure or document template makes results easier to validate, compare and pass into later workflow steps.
A format constraint does not guarantee the content is correct. Systems should validate the structure mechanically and separately evaluate whether the values, claims and decisions meet the workflow's quality rules.
