Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points.
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn traditional PM, success is measured at handoff.\u00a0You\u00a0reach\u00a0go-live, close out, and transition to operations.\u00a0In AI,\u00a0go-live is the most fragile moment.\u00a0Models begin to drift\u00a0immediately. Data pipelines\u00a0encounter\u00a0edge cases. User behavior changes outcomes. Regulatory interpretation evolves. Without clear lifecycle ownership, systems decay silently.\u00a0A recurring enterprise pattern is the orphaned model. Delivered by one team. Operated by no one. Questioned by everyone.\u00a0The failure typically unfolds in predictable stages. Initial deployment succeeds. Performance metrics meet baseline expectations. The project team\u00a0disbands. Monitoring becomes informal.\u00a0\u00a0Further, small degradations accumulate unnoticed. By the time stakeholders raise concerns, remediation costs exceed the original build budget.\u00a0AI program managers own outcomes across building, running, monitoring, adapting, and retiring systems. They do not disappear after deployment. They define who is accountable six, 12, and 24 months later.\u00a0Operationally, this means\u00a0establishing\u00a0clear answers to specific questions before go-live. Who receives performance alerts? Who authorizes retraining? Who funds ongoing data quality work?\u00a0\u00a0Who decides when to\u00a0retire\u00a0the system? These are not operational details. They are strategic accountability decisions.\u00a0CAIPM frames this as lifecycle accountability. Not as an abstract concept, but as a concrete operating expectation. Someone owns\u00a0performance. Someone owns\u00a0risk. Someone owns\u00a0change.\u00a0The best program managers treat deployment as the beginning of value delivery, not the end of project responsibility.\u00a0
