You can buy amazing hardware from NVidia, and AI models nobody though possible mere five years ago. However by themselves they would not deliver. "AI Factory" is a set of roles and processes that allow the enterprises to deliver AI-based capabilities consistently, with the people they have.
Audience: CIO/CTO, enterprise architects, risk/compliance, security leads, procurement lead.
Problem it solves: “We bought AI, but it can’t go live.”
Curriculum:
The “AI Factory” reality: from pilot to production (roles, controls, evidence)
Governance as operating control (not policy): decision rights + RACI + approval gates
Documentation pack: model cards, data lineage, evaluation reports, change control
Vendor reality check: what to demand from platforms vs what you must build
“Air‑gapped / restricted” deployment patterns and what breaks (updates, logging, access, model registry)
Deliverables:
A readiness checklist (30–50 items)
A one‑page operating model (roles + RACI)
A “minimum audit evidence pack” template
