Lifecycle and Responsibilities

Clear ownership spans design, validation, deployment, and monitoring. Segregation of duties and independent review maintain rigor.

Frequently asked questions

What is Model Risk Management (MRM)?

Model Risk Management (MRM) frameworks govern the entire lifecycle of AI models, from initial design through deployment and ongoing monitoring. Independent reviews ensure these models are stable, fair, and perform well under challenging conditions.

How does validation and stress testing contribute to MRM?

Validation and Stress Testing assess a model's stability, fairness, and robustness when subjected to unexpected changes or extreme scenarios. This ensures the model continues to perform reliably even under pressure.

What does documentation play in an MRM framework?

Detailed documentation captures all key aspects of a model – its objectives, underlying assumptions, specific features, and identified limitations. This transparency is crucial for effective risk management and regulatory compliance.

Who is responsible for the different stages of a model's lifecycle?

Clear ownership roles are established throughout the model lifecycle, covering design, validation, deployment, and ongoing monitoring. Robust segregation of duties and independent reviews further strengthen the risk management process.
