AI model stewardship and regulatory watch
Keep your AI decisions current as models, licences and regulation change.
Overview
Lindstead's model stewardship keeps an organisation's AI decisions current. Each month new model releases, licence changes and regulatory developments are assessed against the organisation's established baseline, and the board receives a short quarterly note with recommended upgrades and actions.
Key questions
- Is there now a better or cheaper model for our use cases?
- Has a licence changed in a way that affects us?
- Which regulatory deadlines are coming up for our AI systems?
- When should we upgrade, and what would it cost?
Approach
- Baseline The organisation's models, use cases, quality criteria and obligations are recorded as the reference point.
- Monthly review New releases, licence changes and regulatory developments are checked against the baseline.
- Upgrade advice When a change matters, a recommendation with expected benefit, cost and risk.
Deliverables
- Monthly model review What changed in models, licences and regulation, and whether it matters to the organisation.
- Quarterly board note A one-page summary with recommended decisions.
- Upgrade recommendations Evidence-based advice when switching models or providers is worthwhile.
