A new AI system may look impressive in a research demonstration. Turning that result into a reliable product requires further testing in the conditions where people will actually use it.
Researchers look for failures, unusual inputs, privacy risks and situations where a system behaves unpredictably. They also examine whether the system remains useful after updates or changes in its environment.
NIST’s risk management framework offers organizations a way to consider these questions throughout development and operation. The process is iterative rather than a one-time certificate.
That is why a scientific result and a commercially dependable service should not be described as the same milestone.
