So what
Recursive training loops using synthetic LLM evaluations degrade model judgment, creating hidden vulnerabilities in automated approval and compliance pipelines.
Do what
Review model risk management frameworks with the team responsible for AI governance to ensure synthetic review data is strictly validated.
