AI Bill of Materials (AIBOM): Securing the generative AI supply chain
Generative AI ecosystems now depend on interconnected models, datasets, APIs, orchestration layers, and autonomous agents. As enterprises scale AI adoption, governance maturity often lags behind expanding operational complexity. Traditional software governance frameworks cannot provide sufficient visibility into evolving AI dependencies, creating new enterprise risks around trust, compliance, and accountability. An AI Bill of Materials (AIBOM) offers a structured mechanism for improving traceability, runtime visibility, and lifecycle governance across modern AI systems. As organisations increasingly prioritise AI model provenance tracking, AIBOMs are emerging as a foundational capability for operationalising responsible AI, strengthening governance, and managing evolving AI supply-chain risk.
