Blend human judgment with AI assistance to make faster, better gate decisions across the product lifecycle. Establish governance, validation, and auditability so models inform gates without overruling them.
In a Stage‑Gate process, AI is best positioned to ______ at gates.
synthesize evidence and scenarios while humans retain final decisions
bypass risk reviews to speed releases
replace governance and make autonomous approvals
eliminate documentation requirements
A practical early pattern for Gate reviews is having AI ______.
rewrite business cases to match desired outcomes
draft dossiers, flag risks, and quantify scenarios for committee review
skip post‑launch learnings to save time
generate unverifiable forecasts without inputs
Under the EU AI Act’s 2025 timeline, which statement is correct?
only consumer apps are covered
codes of practice replaced the Act
bans on unacceptable‑risk AI took effect on February 2, 2025
AI systems face no obligations until 2028
Given many early agentic AI projects are being cancelled for weak ROI, a sensible control is ______.
removing humans to avoid bias
outsourcing gate decisions to vendors
deploying more agents with no safeguards
human‑in‑the‑loop escalation and override at key gates
Which governance artifacts best support auditability of AI‑assisted gate decisions?
model versioning, data lineage, prompts, and decision rationales
anonymized slides without logs
verbal approvals only
KPIs with no traceable inputs
AI adds the most value at the business‑case gate when it can ______.
disable cost controls to speed funding
run portfolio scenarios for demand, cannibalisation, cost, and risk
ignore competitor launches
optimize only for vanity metrics
A minimal validation plan for AI scoring of ideas should include ______.
skipping monitoring to avoid noise
accepting vendor benchmarks at face value
out‑of‑time tests and periodic re‑training against realized outcomes
one‑time tuning on historical wins only
When deploying AI at gates, which risk discipline is most relevant?
ad viewability measurement
SEO optimization
cookie consent banners
model risk management covering bias, drift, and controls
What is the core purpose of Stage‑Gate in product development?
structured, cross‑functional risk reviews and go/no‑go decisions at defined points
a legal contract template
marketing approvals only
continuous deployment without checkpoints
To stay compliant during 2025, EU‑bound teams using AI at gates should ______.
disclose nothing to protect trade secrets
map systems to the Act’s risk tiers and follow the evolving code of practice
delay all AI adoption until 2030
treat decision support as exempt from any rules
