Which of the following is the PRIMARY reason IS auditors must be aware that generative...

Generative AI systems, particularly those based on transformer models, produce outputs using probabilistic computations. As a result, even when given the same input data, these models may generate different outputs depending on sampling strategies (e.g., temperature, top-k sampling).

“Generative AI operates probabilistically, meaning that outputs can vary with each run based on stochastic sampling techniques. This variability is expected and must be accounted for in risk-sensitive environments like finance.”

While A and B refer to limitations and architecture, and D is unrelated to logic, C directly explains the output inconsistency.
