Revoke access and disconnect dependent integrations: What distinguishes proper retirement from merely stopping
Retirement requires disabling access and dependencies, not merely hiding the interface or stopping inputs.
The question
For this EU manufacturing deployment, applicable EU AI Act obligations and internal controls apply. A quality model is retired after repeated false defect alerts. Its replacement is approved, but the old API key still works. What distinguishes proper retirement from merely stopping its dashboard?

- Archive reports and mark the model retired in the inventory, without disabling invocation.Records support accountability, but the model remains operationally reachable when invocation is not disabled.
- Hide the retired model's dashboard.Hiding the interface changes visibility but leaves the model and its credentials available to integrations.
- Revoke access and disconnect dependent integrations. ✓Revoking credentials and disconnecting integrations prevent the retired model from operating through remaining technical paths.
- Stop sending new inspection cases, while retaining access.Stopping new inputs does not prevent existing credentials or connected workflows from invoking the model.
The trap
Check credentials, APIs, integrations, and downstream workflows when assessing retirement. How to remember it
Retirement requires disabling access and dependencies, not merely hiding the interface or stopping inputs.
