Frequently asked questions

What key risk indicators should be defined for monitoring drift, bias, performance degradation, and policy breaches in AI models?

Define key risk indicators for drift, bias, performance degradation, and policy breaches.

How frequently should vendors be required to provide attestations detailing updated test results and compliance evidence?

Schedule periodic attestations requiring vendors to submit updated test results and compliance evidence.

What role do synthetic probes play in testing the robustness and fairness of AI model responses, particularly concerning edge cases and bias scenarios?

Leverage synthetic probes to test model responses under edge cases and fairness scenarios.

When specific thresholds are breached – for example, related to performance or compliance – what escalation procedures should be triggered to manage the situation effectively?

Trigger escalation playbooks when thresholds are breached, including partial rollbacks or suspension.
