AI interoperability creates governance boundaries.

Cortex helps organisations think clearly about how AI interacts with systems, tools, models, providers and operational environments.

Why it matters

AI connectivity is a governance issue, not just integration.

As AI becomes more connected, governance must address what AI-enabled activity can access, which tools or systems are involved, which providers or models are used, what data may be exposed and what evidence should be available for review.

What it needs to consider

Boundaries, authority and evidence.

Which systems, tools and data sources are involved?

What authority and accountability apply to AI interaction?

Which providers and models are involved?

What operational context and consequence apply?

What evidence and traceability should be retained?

How is assurance maintained across supplier boundaries?
