AI Evaluation Should Be an Independent Organizational Function
random_walker · x · 2026-07-03
randomwalker argues that AI evaluation (eval) should function as an independent, cross-functional team within enterprises—much like QA, security red teams, or bank model risk management—with its own reporting line.
Key reasons: First, evaluation is increasingly viewed as new IP and a competitive moat, warranting a dedicated team to build it out. Second, evaluation is far more difficult than commonly perceived.
Organizations deploying AI are urged to establish dedicated eval teams and institutionalize their evaluation systems as soon as possible.
