5 essential engineering artifacts for AI pilot-to-production success

Transitioning AI models from pilot to production requires addressing five key engineering artifacts that are often overlooked. These include establishing an automated evaluation harness with a held-out dataset to objectively measure performance, connecting to real data sources early to uncover format and schema issues, defining explicit failure behaviors for unexpected model outputs or system errors, implementing a cost model to project expenses at scale, and assigning a clear owner to manage the system post-launch to handle ongoing maintenance and drift. AI

IMPACT Provides practical guidance for AI practitioners on bridging the gap between AI model development and production deployment.
