Select the least resource-intensive model meeting safety: Which decision best reflects the tradeoff?

AIGP Understanding How to Govern AI Development Easy

Choose the least resource-intensive model that still meets the documented safety requirement.

The question

Under an organization's NIST-aligned internal AI risk policy, an energy company is choosing a model for maintenance alerts. A larger model improves detection slightly but requires substantially more computing resources; a smaller model meets the documented safety threshold. Which decision best reflects the tradeoff?

  1. Choose the smallest model regardless of performance.
    Resource efficiency matters, but disregarding performance could sacrifice required safety and reliability.
  2. Select the largest model because more capability is safer.
    Additional capability is not automatically safer and may impose unnecessary resource costs when the smaller model meets requirements.
  3. Select the least resource-intensive model meeting safety needs. ✓
    This balances capability against environmental and operational resource use while preserving the documented safety requirement.
  4. Deploy both models and compare costs after expansion.
    This spends additional resources before resolving a design choice that can already be made using the documented safety threshold.
The trap
Identify the minimum capability requirement, then compare resource costs among models that satisfy it.

How to remember it

Choose the least resource-intensive model that still meets the documented safety requirement.
