Why this is canonical

'Custody' in financial and legal systems denotes formal, accountable possession with clear transfer protocols. Applied to neural and cognitive AI systems, it names the emerging need for rigorous governance over model weights, training data, and decision authority — a live regulatory and enterprise concern.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

AI model governance
Anchoring the custody layer for AI models in regulated environments — who holds the model, who can transfer it, and under what conditions.
Enterprise AI governance, regulated industry deployments
Cognitive asset management
Naming the infrastructure for tracking, securing, and transferring cognitive AI assets across organizational boundaries.
AI infrastructure, MLOps, compliance-focused AI platforms
