AI System Inventory

An AI System Inventory is a comprehensive registry of every AI system an organization builds, buys, or uses — including third-party APIs, embedded vendor AI, and internal models. The inventory typically captures system name, business owner, technical owner, purpose, models used, data sources, risk classification, regulatory status, and lifecycle stage. Without an inventory, organizations cannot demonstrate AI compliance with frameworks like the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, or the NIST AI Risk Management Framework — and cannot meaningfully practice AI governance. Building and maintaining the inventory is harder than it sounds because shadow AI (unauthorized vendor AI tools used by employees) and embedded AI (features quietly added to existing SaaS products) constantly emerge. Tools include dedicated AI governance platforms, GRC tools (Archer, OneTrust), and increasingly Centralpoint by Oxcyon. AI inventory is the foundation of every credible responsible AI program and the starting point for AI risk management at scale.

Centralpoint Becomes Your Single AI System Inventory: Every model call routed through Centralpoint by Oxcyon appears in the inventory — OpenAI, Gemini, Llama, embedded. The platform meters consumption, keeps prompts and skills on-prem, and embeds inventoried chatbots into your portals via one line of JavaScript. Shadow AI gets pulled into the light.
