What is AI Model Inventory?

An AI model inventory is a maintained register of every AI system, model, and AI-powered tool in use across an organization, with owners, purposes, data classes, and risk levels. It is the first artifact every AI governance framework and regulator asks for.

Static inventories rot. Teams adopt tools weekly, and vendors add AI features to products already approved for other purposes.

A living inventory is generated from observed traffic rather than surveys: what is actually called, by whom, with what data — reconciled against what was approved.

Because Tokto sits on AI traffic, the inventory falls out of supervision automatically: the tools and models in use are the ones in the record.
