See, manage and govern your AI landscape with confidence
1. What is AI Lens?
AI Lens is a family of three new Solutions in Ardoq that helps enterprise architects gain visibility and control over all AI systems in their organisation.
With AI Lens you build an inventory of AI systems, track how they’re used, assess compliance, and bring together business, IT and risk perspectives in one view.
2. Why you need it
AI is now embedded across many systems, and many organisations struggle with:
Lack of clarity on where AI is used and who owns it
Shadow AI systems that are not governed or documented
Rising regulatory and compliance pressure (for example the EU AI Act)
Difficulty linking AI use to business value and outcomes
AI Lens addresses these challenges by helping you move from uncertainty to insight, and from risk to strategic advantage.
3. What it covers
Build the Architecture of Trusted AI
AI Lens consists of three connected solutions:
Enterprise AI Management – Identify and classify all the AI systems, apps and integrations in your architecture. This is where you start.
Enterprise AI Governance – Apply principles, assess risks and maintain compliance throughout the AI lifecycle.
EU AI Act – A dedicated solution that supports risk-based classification, documentation and audit readiness for the EU AI Act.
Each solution builds on the previous one, giving you a complete capability from inventory to governance to compliance.
4. How it works
Here’s a high-level view of how you can get started with AI Lens:
Discover: Connect your data sources and build your AI-system inventory.
Assess: Use dashboards and reports to understand usage, ownership, and risk.
Govern: Set policies, run assessments, track compliance and link AI to business outcomes.
The metamodel behind AI Lens is designed to be flexible, extensible and integrated with your existing architecture model, so you’re ready for today and prepared for what comes next.
5. Who it’s for
If you are an enterprise architect responsible for aligning business, IT and data, AI Lens is built for you. You’ll benefit when you need to:
Provide leadership with a clear view of where AI is used in the enterprise
