DESCRIPTION
Barbara Lampl interviews Larysa Visengeriyeva, software engineer and "godmother of MLOps", about her new book on AI engineering and compliance. What starts as a discussion about the EU AI Act quickly reveals a deeper truth: the real challenge isn't regulatory compliance - it's fundamental engineering practices.

Larysa argues that quality AI systems require robust MLOps, comprehensive documentation, and proper data governance, whether regulation mandates it or not. Drawing from frameworks like CRISP-ML and the Machine Learning Canvas, the book provides practical checklists and methodologies for taking AI projects from prototype to production. Written partially in Ukraine during wartime, this "battle-tested" guide addresses the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders, offering a common language for building sustainable AI systems.
