Knowledge Management
Practices and tools for capturing, organizing and sharing organizational knowledge (e.g., model documentation, audit logs) to ensure reproducibility and oversight.
Definition
A set of processes—wikis, model registries, data catalogs, training-record repositories—that systematically record every artifact and decision in the AI lifecycle. Knowledge management ensures that models can be retraced to their data sources, hyperparameters, and audit reviews. Governance mandates metadata standards, version control, and retention policies so that future audits, model updates, or regulatory inquiries can be handled efficiently and transparently.
Real-World Example
A global insurer uses an MLflow-based knowledge-management platform where every model run logs its code commit, data-version ID, hyperparameters, evaluation metrics, and reviewer comments. When regulators request the development history of their fraud-scoring AI, the team retrieves the full audit trail in minutes—demonstrating reproducibility and compliance.
