The Building Blocks of Governed AI

Erik Huckle·VP of Product·3 min

Erik Huckle, VP of Product at C1.ai, walks through the core components organizations need to adopt AI with governance built in.

Main Takeaways

  • Putting AI to work securely starts with sign-in (who is coming in) and authorization (what they can access, based on policy and context).
  • Secrets should be stored centrally, rotated, and injected through an egress proxy, so API keys reach where they need to go without a human or agent ever seeing them.
  • MCP and AI gateways govern how agents connect to tools and models and control cost and performance, and C1 brings all of these components into one platform instead of a fragmented set of products.
