No - the interlocks on heavy machinery don't replace training requirements. They only prevent the worst mistakes when an operator has a bad day or momentary lapse. These environments have rules requiring both the machinery to have these interlocks as well as operator training.
As a matter of fact, I'd extend this argument the other way around: AI might be deterministic enough per your argument, but that's not an interlock. An interlock for an AI would be some type of interaction limiting that prevents the worst garbage outputs. We already have some "AI interlocks" like that, in the form of censoring it from generating "socially inappropriate" output. Maybe someone can invent further "AI fuses", for example when the AI itself detects it's being asked to do complex math, and it is known that this AI can't in fact do math. (This could work on either input, internal state, or output. Also note most interlocks aren't "perfect".)
