What Is an AI Gateway?
An AI Gateway is an infrastructure layer that sits between users and AI models, governing every interaction before it reaches a language model. It provides prompt guardrails, PII detection and redaction, model routing, cost tracking, and policy enforcement — ensuring AI usage complies with organizational and regulatory requirements.
In regulated life sciences environments, an AI Gateway serves as the first line of defense:
- Prompt guardrails prevent users from submitting queries that violate data handling policies or regulatory boundaries
- PII detection automatically identifies and redacts patient data, trial participant information, and other protected health information before it reaches any model
- Model routing directs queries to appropriate models based on data sensitivity, use case, and regulatory requirements (e.g., routing clinical queries to validated models only)
- Cost tracking provides visibility into AI spend across teams, projects, and regulatory activities
