AI procurement is the governed sourcing and contracting of AI models, applications, infrastructure and suppliers with risk, assurance, economics, usage and dependency considered together.
Why it matters
Why institutions need the concept.
AI purchases can become strategic dependencies quickly. Procurement therefore needs more than price comparison and generic vendor questionnaires.
Turn terminology into institutional operating control.
Cybatar connects AI inventory, policy, accountable decisions, evidence, assurance and economics so governance can operate continuously rather than live in disconnected documents.
