Description

Can AI be purchased as a managed service — with contracts, SLAs, and accountability? This book attempts exactly that: writing a working SLA contract for an LLM system. The documented failure proves why content correctness in stochastic systems cannot be guaranteed. Not an anti-AI book, but a case for the Researcher Model — AI as a tool with human control. Book 4 of the AI Practitioner Series 2026.

Author Description

Michael Schmid is a physicist and Principal Consultant at it-dialog e.K. in Stuttgart. With over 43 years of experience in critical IT infrastructure, he has designed SLA contracts, built local LLM architectures on AWS, and tested AI systems in his own lab — with OpenAI, Anthropic, LMStudio, and Ollama. This book emerged from a simple question: What happens when you try to write an SLA for an AI system?
