AI Model Passport: Data and System Traceability Framework for Transparent AI in Health
- 用结构化元数据构建AI模型的数字身份,贯穿全生命周期。
- 在ProCAncer-I数据集上实现自动追踪,减少人工操作。
- 适合医疗AI研发团队与监管机构,提升合规与可信度。
人工智能在健康与生物医学系统中的日益融合,亟需具备透明性、问责性和伦理合规性的框架。现有框架多依赖人工编写的人类可读文档,限制了跨项目和平台的可扩展性、可比性与机器可读性,且缺乏对模型唯一性与真实性的验证机制,影响复现性与利益相关方信任。本文提出AI模型护照概念,一种结构化、标准化的文档框架,作为AI模型的数字身份与验证工具。该框架捕获关键元数据,实现模型从数据采集、预处理到模型设计、开发与部署全生命周期的唯一标识、验证、溯源与监控。进一步通过在欧盟ProCAncer-I项目中开发的AIPassport MLOps工具实现落地,自动化元数据收集,保障版本管理,分离结果与源代码,并兼容多种开发环境。在使用ProCAncer-I数据集的病灶分割任务中,验证了该框架在增强透明度、可复现性与监管准备度方面的有效性,显著降低人工成本。本方法旨在为医疗AI解决方案建立新的信任与问责标准,推动跨领域透明、合规的AI系统发展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into health and biomedical systems necessitates robust frameworks for transparency, accountability, and ethical compliance. Existing frameworks often rely on human-readable, manual documentation which limits scalability, comparability, and machine interpretability across projects and platforms. They also fail to provide a unique, verifiable identity for AI models to ensure their provenance and authenticity across systems and use cases, limiting reproducibility and stakeholder trust. This paper introduces the concept of the AI Model Passport, a structured and standardized documentation framework that acts as a digital identity and verification tool for AI models. It captures essential metadata to uniquely identify, verify, trace and monitor AI models across their lifecycle - from data acquisition and preprocessing to model design, development and deployment. In addition, an implementation of this framework is presented through AIPassport, an MLOps tool developed within the ProCAncer-I EU project for medical imaging applications. AIPassport automates metadata collection, ensures proper versioning, decouples results from source scripts, and integrates with various development environments. Its effectiveness is showcased through a lesion segmentation use case using data from the ProCAncer-I dataset, illustrating how the AI Model Passport enhances transparency, reproducibility, and regulatory readiness while reducing manual effort. This approach aims to set a new standard for fostering trust and accountability in AI-driven healthcare solutions, aspiring to serve as the basis for developing transparent and regulation compliant AI systems across domains.
