Unlike traditional software systems, the behavior of machine learning systems is governed not just by rules specified in code, but also by model behavior learned from data. Therefore, data distribution changes, training-serving skew, data quality issues, shifts in environments, or consumer behavior changes can all cause a model to become stale. When a model becomes stale, its performance can degrade to the point that it fails to add business value or starts to cause serious compliance issues in highly regulated environments.
