Challenging Assumptions: The Unpredictable Trajectory of AI Models

The conventional wisdom is that the value derived from AI will naturally increase as the AI continues to learn and improve. However, this assumption may not always hold true due to a variety of factors. Not all models are capable of learning, and not all models are entirely within our control.

When building business cases and estimating potential benefits, it’s crucial to consider the possibility of a decrease in model performance. Understanding the potential impact on your business case is key. Always remember, the trajectory of AI models may not always be upward. Do you factor such a potential reduction in AI performance in your business case?
