Model Card
A standardised documentation framework that provides transparent information about an AI model's intended use, performance metrics, limitations, ethical considerations and training data characteristics.
In plain language
A "nutrition label" for an AI model. It documents what the model was trained on, what it does well, where it struggles and any known issues, so people can decide if it is fit for their purpose.
Why this matters
Model cards create a standardised governance record for every AI in your organisation. They support audit readiness, knowledge transfer and regulatory compliance by making model properties explicit and discoverable.
