Please briefly describe your organization’s decision-making process for deploying an AI model or system including: who has decision authority; what evidence and criteria are required (e.g., performance, safety/security, robustness, fairness, privacy, compliance, independent external testing, evaluation, validation and verification (TEVV) or assurance); contextual caveats or limitations required in interpreting risk evaluation metric results; what approvals/sign-offs are needed; and what safeguards (e.g., mitigations, monitoring, or phased release) must be in place to move into deployment.
A gated validation funnel is being set up whereby all use cases are placed under the scrutiny of a committee where all stakeholders are represented : legal, ethics, cybersecurity, etc.
In order to be able to start the build phase, the model or system must be qualified with respect to the AI act's requirements, and this qualification must be validated by the committee
In order to be able to enter service the committee must meet the requirements defined at the previous gate.
Once in run phase, a sampling will be done to check for potential drift of operating conditions with respect to requirements.
