Where do neural networks fall?
Are you tautologically saying “determinism is determinism” because you define an algorithm as a “deterministic procedure”.

Biological neural networks are non-deterministic.
(You can debate philosophically whether apparent non-determinism is actually fundamentally non-deterministic or ultimately reduces to some hidden determinism. It depends on one's choice of interpretation of quantum theory – many worlds and hidden variables both claim that reality is fundamentally deterministic, other interpretations do not. But, whether or not non-determinism ultimately exists, it certainly apparently exists, both in biological and technological systems.)
