An AI Policy Engine is a system that automatically applies predefined rules, policies, and governance requirements to artificial intelligence applications and workflows. It evaluates requests, data, model actions, or outputs against organizational policies to determine what is permitted, restricted, or requires additional review.
Policy engines can enforce controls related to data access, privacy, security, model usage, content handling, and regulatory requirements. They can operate in real time, blocking an action, modifying a request, routing it for approval, or recording an event for audit. This makes them useful for applying consistent governance across multiple AI models, applications, and environments.
