In collaboration with AWS, BBVA has implemented an MLOps (Machine Learning Operations) framework in ADA, its global analytics, data and AI platform, enabling more scalable and governed management of the AI model lifecycle. The architecture automates operational tasks and validation processes, integrating the development, testing and deployment of solutions into the bank’s technology operations. Both companies presented the solution at the annual AWS Summit event.
The architecture facilitates the work of ADA’s more than 6,500 users, including 1,000 data scientists who develop AI-based solutions at BBVA, enabling faster creation and deployment across the Group. In pilot projects such as personalized recommendations for clients or financial forecasting, the solution has reduced development times by 20 to 75 percent, and optimized infrastructure operational costs by 40 to 55 percent.
The MLOps architecture also includes governance in the development cycle for AI models. The system automates validation, traceability and control processes to enable the safe transition of models into production, keeping the bank’s review and approval mechanisms intact. Furthermore, it maintains a centralized audit trail to ensure that all machine learning models generated at BBVA comply with the security and transparency standards that apply to the financial sector. The system is essential in a sector where traceability, security and risk control are vital.
“Artificial intelligence only creates real value when it can be scaled industrially across the entire organization. The new MLOps architecture gives us a competitive advantage to accelerate the transformation of our internal operations and deliver secure and transparent AI solutions to our customers more quickly,” said Natalia Sampietro, from the Data & Analytics Enablement team at BBVA.
This transformation is based on Amazon SageMaker AI, AWS’s ecosystem of tools for building, training, deploying and managing machine…
