## Abstract

Techniques regarding the governing of use by a consumer of an artificial intelligence technology are described. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise a system, which can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components. The system can also comprise a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can include an analyzing component that can, based on an artificial intelligence usage policy, analyze a proposed use by a consumer of an artificial intelligence technology, resulting in an analyzed use of the artificial intelligence technology. The computer executable components can further include a governing component that can, based on the analyzing, govern use by the consumer of the artificial intelligence technology.
