Summary
CData has launched the Connect AI Gateway, an innovative solution designed to enhance enterprise AI governance by effectively routing requests to the appropriate models while enforcing identity and policy on every interaction.

With this launch, CData aims to create a robust system of record for how companies operate, offering early access to users.
