What is AI Supply Chain Risk?

Modern AI systems rely on open-source models, public datasets, agent frameworks, and third-party APIs. While these accelerate innovation, they also create new risks:

• Pre-trained models may contain biased or unsafe behavior
• Datasets may be improperly sourced or contain PII
• APIs and agent tools may expose unsecured endpoints
• Open-source code may harbor known vulnerabilities or backdoors

Unlike traditional supply chain risk, AI supply chain issues often involve dynamic behavior that changes at runtime, making them harder to detect with static scans.

AI supply chain risk management requires:

• Full visibility into AI components
• Risk scoring based on origin, behavior, and license
• Continuous monitoring for tampering or drift
• Policy enforcement to block unsafe assets
