Pre-Deployment

Pre-deployment refers to the testing, validation, and compliance activities that occur before an AI system is released to production environments. This phase is critical for enterprise governance because it includes model evaluation, bias audits, security assessments, and regulatory checks that reduce the risk of failures or harms after launch. Organizations use pre-deployment processes to document model performance, verify alignment with organizational policies, and ensure all stakeholders have approved the system before end users interact with it.
