Milken 2026 | the shift to deterministic AI and why it matters for the real economy

ngl, Im getting pretty tired of hearing how LLMs are going to save the global economy while they still struggle with basic logic. It's one thing to have a fun chatbot for writing emails, but you can’t exactly run a national power grid or a manufacturing plant on a system that works on "probabilities" and vibes

the disconnect between the tech hype and actual industrial utility is huge right now. if we’re betting the future of productivity on just scaling these models, it feels like we're building a house of cards

I was reading through some of the notes from the Milken Conference (found them here: https://logicalintelligence.com/milken) and it’s interestin to see the shift in tone from the institutional side. Seeing guys from Google and ASML sit down to talk about deterministic AI suggests the big players are finally moving past the "fancy autocomplete" stage

real economic growth needs systems that follow mathematical constraints, not just next-token prediction. It’s a relief to see some focus on correctness instead of just bigger and more expensive hallucinations, tbh. Its about time the industry stopped pretending a smarter chatbot is the same thing as actual infrastructure.
