Model Life Cycle
🧾 What Is a Model Card? A Model Card is a standardized documentation artifact that provides transparency about an AI/ML or GenAI model — describing what it does, how it was trained, what data it uses, what assumptions were made, and what limitations or ethical risks exist. Think of it as the “nutrition label” for an AI model — it helps business, risk, compliance, and auditors understand the model before approving or deploying it. It’s a mandatory governance artifact in m

Enterprise AI & GenAI Principles (12 Principles)
1. Responsible & Ethical AI AI/GenAI systems must operate in a way that aligns with organizational values and ethical standards. Why: Prevent misuse, ensure trust, align with RBI/SEBI expectations. 2. Transparency & Explainability All AI decisions must be explainable using XAI frameworks (SHAP, LIME, model cards, confidence scores). Why: Regulatory “Right to Explanation”, audit, risk management. 3. Fairness, Bias Control & Inclusivity AI/GenAI models must be tested for fair

EA Governance Enhancement to enable AI/ML & GenAI
As Enterprise Architect , would extend the existing EA governance by embedding AI/ML and GenAI governance within the same strategic, tactical, and operational layers — not as a parallel body but as an integrated stream. This includes setting up an AI Ethics Subcommittee, AI/ML/Gen AI CoE under the tactical layer, AI reviewers in SARB, and BU AI champions for federated execution. We’d define clear RACI mappings, conduct stakeholder workshops, and ensure Responsible AI princip
