AI Governance
Shadow AI Detection
Identify and manage unauthorized AI systems across your organization before regulators find them first.
What Is Shadow AI?
Shadow AI refers to artificial intelligence systems and models deployed within an organization without formal approval, oversight, or governance. These include unauthorized ChatGPT usage, unvetted vendor AI tools, models built by individual teams, and third-party APIs embedded in workflows without compliance review.
Under OSFI E-23 and SR 11-7, financial institutions must maintain complete model inventories. Undocumented AI systems create regulatory exposure, model risk blind spots, and potential compliance violations.
