Episode 61 — Audit AI deployment controls: approvals, gates, and rollback readiness (Task 8)
This episode focuses on deployment controls for AI, because Task 8 scenarios often test whether you treat deployment as a controlled release with approvals, gates, and rollback readiness rather than a simple “go live.” You’ll learn how approval gates should confirm that requirements were met, validation evidence is complete, privacy and security constraints are enforced, and operational owners are ready to monitor and respond. We’ll cover what good “release readiness” looks like, including documented rollout plans, staged deployment options, defined success and failure thresholds, and a tested rollback path that can revert model versions and configuration safely. You’ll also learn common exam traps, such as assuming a vendor release process substitutes for internal governance, or approving deployment without clear monitoring and escalation commitments. By the end, you should be able to choose AAIA answers that emphasize auditable approvals, measurable gates, and recoverability when deployment outcomes are not acceptable.
