AI Supply Chain Governance
Third-party AI vendor management, Shadow AI controls, and procurement
Overview
AI Supply Chain Governance addresses the risks associated with third-party AI components, services, and tools. This is increasingly critical as organizations face "Shadow AI" risks from employees using unapproved AI tools and must manage complex AI supply chains.
Organizations must conduct due diligence on AI vendors, establish contractual safeguards, and monitor ongoing compliance. The EU AI Act places specific obligations on both providers and deployers of AI systems, creating shared responsibility across the supply chain.
