AI Supply Chain Security: Why an SBOM Cannot Cover It
A software bill of materials works because software changes through a build. Someone bumps a dependency, the pipeline runs, the manifest updates and a scanner compares the new list against known vulnerabilities. Every part of that loop assumes a rebuild is the thing that changes behavior. AI systems break that assumption at the point it matters most. Editing a system prompt changes what a model does, swaps no dependency, triggers no build and produces no new manifest.
