AI Deployment and Monitoring SOP

This detailed SOP provides AI project managers, data scientists, and IT professionals with a structured framework for managing the deployment and monitoring of AI models within an organisation.
It includes:
– Step-by-Step Process Flow: Outlines essential subprocesses such as Model Deployment Preparation, Model Implementation and Monitoring, and Continuous Improvement, with clear actions, decision points, and feedback mechanisms to ensure AI models are successfully deployed and optimised over time.  
– Risk Management: Identifies key risks such as inadequate infrastructure, inaccurate performance monitoring, and user resistance, with mitigation strategies like thorough infrastructure assessments, robust monitoring protocols, and comprehensive user training to ensure smooth deployment and optimal performance.  
– Compliance and Regulatory Requirements: Ensures adherence to relevant regulations, including GDPR, data protection, and industry-specific standards, by integrating compliance checks throughout the deployment and monitoring process to safeguard legal and regulatory adherence.  
– Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Controls: Defines KPIs such as model performance accuracy, infrastructure readiness, and user satisfaction, with controls like real-time performance monitoring, user feedback mechanisms, and compliance audits to ensure ongoing success and continuous improvement.  
– RACI Framework: Clearly defines roles and responsibilities for each task in the AI deployment and monitoring process, ensuring that project managers, data scientists, IT professionals, and end-users are accountable and engaged at every stage.  
– Systems Requirements: Details the necessary systems, including a Model Deployment Management System, Monitoring and Analytics Tools, User Training Platforms, and Feedback Collection Systems, to support the AI deployment process and ensure secure, efficient, and effective management.  
– Appendices: Provides practical resources such as deployment preparation checklists, monitoring templates, and case studies to guide users through each stage of the AI deployment and monitoring process effectively.
