Understanding Runtime Governance for Enterprise AI Deployment
There are a lot of incumbents and start-ups building AI runtime governance layer. Was wondering if anyone actually sees adoption of runtime governance layers despite the chatter around the need for it?I can't seem to wrap my head around the moat for such a product given that it is a fixed set of rules which is not proprietary in nature. Am I looking at this space with the wrong lenses?I see how its solves the problem of accountability for risk and compliance teams but I do not see how this is defensible as a standalone business.
