Query: How do regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, and aviation currently test and validate AI systems before deployment in production environments?
BLUF: All three regulated industries have established validation frameworks for AI, but all acknowledge these frameworks were designed for traditional systems and need adaptation. Aviation (FAA) released an AI Safety Assurance Roadmap. Healthcare (FDA) requires Good Machine Learning Practice principles and change control plans. Finance (Fed/OCC) applies SR 11-7 model risk management. NIST provides a voluntary cross-industry AI risk framework.
Answer: H3 (Frameworks exist but adapting) · Confidence: High
