Implementing AI Bill of Materials (AI BOM) with SPDX 3.0

Download Report
A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is becoming an increasingly important tool in regulatory and technical spaces to introduce more transparency and security into a project's software supply chain.
 
Artificial intelligence (AI) projects face unique challenges beyond the security of their software, and thus require a more expansive approach to a bill of materials. In this report, we introduce the concept of an AI-BOM, expanding on the SBOM to include the documentation of algorithms, data collection methods, frameworks and libraries, licensing information, and standard compliance.
