How to Monitor an AI Assistant for Answers That Ignore Recent Policy Changes

An AI assistant may continue using old policy after a source is updated if the index refresh is delayed, caches persist, or old copies remain searchable. Successful ingestion does not prove retrieval switched to the new version.

What to check

Track source version, ingestion completion, effective date, retrieval results, citation links, and cache behavior. Test questions whose answers changed and compare outputs before and after refresh.

Recommended next step

Set freshness objectives and remove or mark superseded content in active retrieval. Alert when policy updates are not searchable within the agreed window and route uncertain answers to a human.
