AIBOM (AI bill of materials)
Bill of materials for an AI system: models, data, libraries and their provenance.
What is AIBOM (AI bill of materials)?
An AIBOM is the bill of materials for an AI system. It extends the classic software bill of materials (SBOM) by the parts that AI adds: the models in use and their version, training and fine-tuning data, embedding and vector stores, prompt templates, and the services connected at runtime.
The benefit shows in an incident. When a weakness in a model or a dataset becomes known, the AIBOM answers which of your own systems are affected. It is also the basis for provenance evidence towards customers and supervisory authorities.
