Episode notes

In this episode of Enterprise Tech, Lucas and Luna dive into a growing trend among Fortune 500 procurement teams: negotiating explicit rollback rights when an AI vendor updates or fine-tunes a model in ways that degrade performance. They discuss a real example where a major bank's customer-service chatbot started giving incorrect loan advice after a silent model update, forcing the bank to invoke a rollback clause. The conversation covers the legal mechanics, the financial stakes, and why procurement is now treating AI models like critical infrastructure - with the same change-management rigor as a database migration. Lucas explains how companies are baking in testing windows, performance benchmarks, and automatic breach triggers, while Luna shares a counterpoint from a vendor's perspective on why unlimited rollback rights can be a deal-breaker. They also touch on the role of third-party model evaluation and how regulators are starting to notice. A must-listen for anyone involved in enterprise software procurement or AI vendor management.
