Apply model explainability, fairness, and interpretability techniques (e.g., SHAP, LIME, feature importance) to ensure transparency and accountability.

Support AI governance activities, including Model Risk Management (MRM) processes, ensuring compliance and responsible use of AI.

Conduct and analyze A/B tests or controlled experiments to assess model and feature performance.

Work with Data Product Owners to define business outcomes, monitor model performance post-deployment, and ensure continued relevance.

Collaborate with Data Quality Specialists to ensure input data meets quality, lineage, and governance standards.

Communicate results effectively through visualizations, storytelling, and presentations tailored to technical and non-technical audiences.
