AIBOM business case

AIBOM inherits the business case drivers of SBOM with a few minor adjustments:

Risk typeUse caseTAIBOM changes
Software vulnerability riskDoes my Inference OR Training system have any critical vulnerabilities?A new critical CVE is announced in component X - which of my systems are impacted?Need to consider dependency between training and inference system
Export riskDoes my inventory contain any Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) issues?Different export license surrounding AIEU specific regulation restrict use
Licensing riskDoes my inventory contain any licensing risks - e.g. GPL pollution ?See copyright risk later
Support riskUnder CSA (or other) regulations, what software support liabilities exist through dependencies on external (open source?) systemsUnexplored what implications CSA has for AI systems

But wee can these additional AI focussed risks

Risk typeUse case
Data poisoningHas my training data been intentionally poisoned - and can I trace impact through to all deployed inference systems
Data pollutionHas my training data been accidentally polluted?
Performance checksDo I have evidence that the system has been validated (performs well enough) for the application
Copyright riskIs there any inherent copyright infringement risk in the data on which the system has been trained
Bias riskAre there inherent biases in either the data on which the AI system has been trained or in the performance on the versioned inference system
System tampering riskHas the software or the trained weights been tampered with
Best practice/LegislationDo I have evidence that the system designers employed best practice in the development of the system
Supply chain riskDo I trust all the actors involved in the creation of the system. FOCI checks.
note

Can we think of any more
