Fine-Tuning

The process of further training a pre-trained AI model on a specific dataset or task to adapt its capabilities for a particular use case.

Taking a general-purpose AI and specialising it for a specific job. Like taking a general doctor and training them as a cardiologist; same foundation, but now expert in one area.

Fine-tuning introduces governance obligations. When your organisation customises a foundation model, you become responsible for the behaviour of the resulting model. Your governance framework should include policies for testing and validating fine-tuned models.
