Definition
A formal inventory of all components in an AI system—including training data sources, model versions, dependencies, and external tools used by agents. An AI SBOM provides transparency into what is inside the AI system and enables risk assessment of the supply chain.
Why it matters
Buyers and regulators increasingly require AI SBOMs to understand what data trained a model, whether it contains proprietary or harmful material, and whether dependencies are compromised. An AI SBOM is the foundation for due diligence and compliance.
