LLM Governance: Why You Govern the Model, Not Retrain It

Most AI applications wrap a foundation model they will never retrain. The real discipline is governance — drift detection, prompt tuning, guardrails, and knowledge refresh. Here is how the major LLM providers themselves frame the responsibility.
