AI Inventory
A live register of every AI system, model, and third-party AI tool in use across the enterprise.
What is AI Inventory?
An AI inventory (sometimes “AI system register”) is the prerequisite for any compliance program. You cannot classify risk, run a DPIA/FRIA, or report to regulators without a baseline of what exists. The AI Inventory & Shadow AI Discovery use case explains how to build one across code repos, document stores, and collaboration tools.
