LONDON, May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alatie Inc.the knowledge engine that drives companies to achieve business results, on today Gartner Data & Analytics Summit introduced in London Alation AI managementa new offering that gives companies the registration system they are missing in AI compliance.
Companies are deploying AI models, agents, and tools faster than they can manage. As a result, when a board or regulator asks about compliance, most Chief Data Officers (CDOs) and their teams spend weeks manually gathering evidence. AI approval workflows are live in email threads and SharePoint pages. Model documentation becomes outdated the day it is archived. There is no record system for AI approvals – and regulators are no longer willing to wait for it.
Alation AI Governance changes that. The solution records every AI model, agent, and tool in a single inventory, maps every AI model to applicable regulations, generates evidence-based model maps, routes approvals through regulatory-aware workflows, and produces a live compliance posture for the management team on demand, not deadline.
Regulations exacerbate the problem. The EU AI Act mandates documentation requirements for high-risk AI systems. NIST AI RMF will be a baseline for US procurement. ISO 42001 is a growing certification target. State-level AI laws in the US are being implemented in all jurisdictions. For companies operating in different regions, each new regulation adds a new set of requirements that tracking and auditing obligations must meet. Manual processes can’t keep up.
Alation AI Governance addresses these challenges head-on by combining five capabilities into one audit-ready record:
AI Asset Register: A single inventory of every model, agent, and tool across the enterprise. Assets are withdrawn via connected platforms or submitted via SDK. Each item is given a searchable profile with lineage of upstream data dependencies.
AI-native model cards: Model maps are generated from asset metadata, data dependencies, and applicable regulatory requirements, with the source identified for each field. Evidence-based completeness shows what has been verified and what remains to be assessed.
Agentic governance workflow: Approval routing is determined by the applicability of regulations. A high-risk EU AI Act asset leads to legal and CISO. A NIST-only asset follows the standard chain. Missing evidence leads to recovery tasks directly related to the gap. Each action is captured in an attachment-only audit trail that can be exported in narrative form for regulators.
Regulations Register: Alation AI Governance includes built-in support for key frameworks – including the EU AI Act, AI-relevant subsets of GDPR, NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001 – allowing teams to connect regulatory guidance to AI asset requirements. Companies can include additional regulations, with AI-enabled suggestions to speed up requirements mapping.
Executive dashboard: A live compliance posture is available upon request for CDOs, CIOs, CROs and Chief Compliance Officers. The dashboard shows the overall compliance score, a regulatory breakdown with trend lines, and the top open risk items blocking compliance, all of which can be assessed against the underlying assets and evidence. A board-ready PDF exports in seconds with live stats, no cached numbers.
“The question in every boardroom has shifted from ‘are we using AI?’ to ‘can we prove that we are using it responsibly?’” said GT Volpehead of product management at Alation. “That evidence doesn’t come from policy documents stored in SharePoint. It comes from a system that knows every AI asset you have, what regulations apply to it, and whether each piece of evidence is complete. That’s what Alation AI Governance is.”
