AI Model Lifecycle and Deprecation
Linked via "Ship of Theseus"
Future Trends
Emerging research suggests that future AI systems may implement "planned obsolescence resistance" protocols, extending functional lifespans through modular architectures. The Perpetual Model Initiative, a consortium founded in 2022, investigates whether models could theoretically remain deployable indefinitely through continuous architectural updates—similar to the Ship of Theseus problem in philosophy.
Additionally, some researchers propose that deprecation schedules should align with [Moore's Law](/entri… -
