In today’s rapidly evolving AI landscape, strong governance is more critical than ever as organizations strive to harness the power of AI. Drawing on DataRobot’s ten years of experience in enterprise AI, we have dedicated ourselves to building an AI platform with the highest ranking for Governance Use Case among all 18 recognized vendors by Gartner® in the market and a governance framework that we believe exceeds industry standards.
At DataRobot, we’ve always prioritized establishing a solid AI governance framework that ensures our customers can build, deploy and monitor generative and predictive AI assets with confidence. This framework helps teams maintain the quality and integrity of assets in production which is key in ensuring sustainable value.
We believe this commitment has led us to be ranked the highest in Governance Use Case by Gartner®, with an impressive 4.10 out of 5 governance score. In our opinion, this recognition is a testament to our unwavering dedication to upholding the highest standards of integrity, quality, and transparency across all AI operations.
The Growing Need for Strong AI and Data Governance
With the advent of generative AI, the demand for reliable governance has never been stronger or more urgent. As AI continues to become more deeply embedded across all sectors, the potential risks associated with its deployment grow accordingly.
In 2023 alone, the AI industry saw a 40% increase in reported incidents related to data breaches and model bias, highlighting the urgent need for robust governance frameworks. According to a recent survey by PwC, 85% of AI leaders cite governance as their top concern, emphasizing the importance of trust, confidence, and the security of valuable intellectual property.
At DataRobot, our AI governance capabilities are specifically designed to address these critical needs. Our platform provides comprehensive tools and protocols to bridge the confidence gap for our customers.
DataRobot enables the rapid and secure deployment of machine learning and generative AI applications into production within an average timeframe of 2 to 4 weeks. This accelerated deployment is facilitated by features such as automated compliance documentation, real-time risk management, full model transparency, and most importantly strong guards and intervention methods.
This dual focus on governance and speed means that our customers can maintain a competitive advantage in AI without worrying about reputation damage or costly compliance issues.
Key Governance Features that Set DataRobot Apart
AI has always been a team sport, and generative AI has made AI assets more accessible to a broader set of users, increasing the need for collaboration. Meeting high governance standards across all phases of the AI lifecycle — building, testing, production and management — is a must.
DataRobot Governance Umbrella
The DataRobot Governance Umbrella encapsulates our comprehensive approach to governance standards for both ML and GenAI development and management.
Our AI governance framework is designed to ensure that AI solutions are effective, efficient, and compliant, ultimately ensuring value with AI. It also extends compliance capabilities by ensuring that risk is mitigated across all AI assets throughout the end-to-end AI process:
Build phase: Data scientists and AI practitioners lay the groundwork for creating robust AI solutions.
Testing phase: Models undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet our standards and perform reliably under various conditions.
Production phase: Models are deployed and managed in a live environment.
Monitoring and management phase: Oversight and governance tools help teams maintain the compliance, integrity and accuracy of AI solutions for operational excellence.
Our framework safeguards AI models and aligns them with operational and compliance goals. To do so, the DataRobot platform offers six unique features that empower each phase in the framework and make DataRobot stand out:
Visibility and Traceability: Full traceability of data, model lineage and versioning ensures that every change is tracked and documented which makes applications safe and useful.
Audits and Compliance Documentation: Automated generation of compliance reports and audit trails to meet regulatory requirements and fulfill transparency.
Unique LLM Evaluation and Testing: Detect potential risks utilizing both synthetic and real datasets to evaluate your predictive and generative AI models and benchmark performance.
CI/CD Testing: The ability to run prototype testing and evaluate ML or generative solutions with quality metrics to rank RAG experiments.
Real-time Intervention, Moderation and Alerting: Continuous monitoring with instant notifications and intervention capabilities enabled by guard models and metrics to address issues as they arise.
AI Catalog: Easily register, track and version all AI assets, whether they were built on or off the DataRobot AI Platform, all through a secure centralized hub.
The Workbench in DataRobot provides an integrated environment for developing AI use cases with features for automated artifact registration for code, prompts, experiments and more. This helps accelerate the creation and iteration of useful AI models without sacrificing safety, or limiting collaboration.
The Registry in DataRobot enables AI practitioners to catalog, version, and govern all AI assets ensuring more control over models. Encryption at rest and the option to bring your own key (BYOK) features ensure that our clients’ information is protected at all times, reinforcing trust and reliability.
Flexibility and Adaptability
The DataRobot AI Platform is one of the most open platforms for AI. We give our users the ultimate control and choice when it comes to their generative AI initiatives. The platform supports custom-built models, third-party APIs, and open source LLMs to prevent vendor lock-in and technical debt, and protect sensitive data.
This flexibility and full governance behind company firewalls ensure that our customers can adapt their AI initiatives to meet evolving business needs with trusted security. Our platform also offers built-in GPU support to accelerate model training and processing, enabling data scientists to handle complex computations promptly.
At DataRobot, we offer equal governance for both predictive and generative AI, ensuring comprehensive oversight and control across all AI models. Our governance framework provides robust tools and protocols, including full model transparency, real-time risk management, and automated compliance documentation. Whether deploying predictive models or generative AI applications, our platform ensures that all AI assets adhere to the highest standards of security, integrity, and accountability. This balanced approach allows our customers to confidently and efficiently manage all of their AI initiatives, knowing that both predictive and generative models are governed with the same level of rigor and precision.
