An examiner request for the current model inventory put vendor model card with missing evaluation slices in front of vendor-diligence reviewer for AI tools in a retailer using generative AI in customer service. This AI Governance / Inventory and Regulatory Fit close is a shadow system must from vendor model card with missing evaluation slices, and the live options are Policy or governance breach, Model defect, Dual failure.
Decision
Vendor-diligence reviewer for AI tools in a retailer using generative AI in customer service must choose Policy or governance breach / Model defect / Dual failure / Hold for the missing fact using vendor model card with missing evaluation slices after an examiner request for the current model inventory.
Hypotheses to test
- The population in vendor model card with missing evaluation slices is the one an examiner request for the current model inventory named, so Policy or governance breach follows for this Inventory and Regulatory Fit file.
- The population in vendor model card with missing evaluation slices is adjacent only to an examiner request for the current model inventory; Model defect is the honest AI Governance call.
- A retailer using generative AI in customer service already contained an examiner request for the current model inventory before vendor model card with missing evaluation slices arrived; no new Inventory and Regulatory Fit path.
- Provenance on vendor model card with missing evaluation slices after an examiner request for the current model inventory is broken; do not pick Policy or governance breach or Model defect yet.
