Explanation
Effective vendor management for AI models requires clear contractual terms that define who is responsible for model updates, bug fixes, support, and what happens when the model behaves unexpectedly. AI models change over time through updates that can alter outputs, so accountability must be formally established. Option A (three quotes) is a procurement practice, not an ongoing vendor management strategy. Option C (globally recognized accreditation) is overly restrictive and not a reliable proxy for fit-for-purpose AI governance. Option D (security review) is one input but insufficient on its own for comprehensive vendor management.
