An AI audit team is reviewing an MLOps pipeline for a recommendation model. The team discovers that model retraining is fully automated and that new model versions are automatically promoted to production if they exceed a certain accuracy threshold. Which control deficiency does this represent?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation and Infographic
Here's the deal — b is correct because fully automated model promotion without human approval bypasses the change management controls required for model governance. New model versions may have passed the accuracy threshold while having degraded fairness, explainability, robustness, or other characteristics not captured by the automated threshold.

Full Explanation
B is correct because fully automated model promotion without human approval bypasses the change management controls required for model governance. New model versions may have passed the accuracy threshold while having degraded fairness, explainability, robustness, or other characteristics not captured by the automated threshold. A human approval gate ensures responsible model promotion decisions. Metric selection (A and D) may be improvement opportunities but are not the primary governance deficiency. Manual code review (C) is an additional control, not the primary gap identified.
