# Associate a business application with an AI system

Associate an existing business application with an AI system asset, independently of whether the Enterprise Architecture Workspace plugin is installed.

## Before you begin

Role required: AI Asset Owner \[sn\_ai\_asset\_mgmt.ai\_asset\_owner\]

## About this task

You can associate a business application with an AI system either while creating the AI system asset, or afterward by editing an existing AI system's relationships. This topic covers both.

This association requires the Enterprise Architecture for AICT plugin, which installs automatically with AI Control Tower Core at the required version. For upgrade-order considerations, see [Enterprise Architecture for AICT plugin installation and upgrade considerations](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/intelligent-experiences/aict-ea-common-upgrade-considerations.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **AI Control Tower** > **Inventory**.

2.  On the Inventory page, select **Add AI asset**.

    The Add AI asset dialog box appears.

3.  In the dialog box, select **Enter asset details**.

4.  From the list of available asset types, select **AI system**.

    The dialog box closes and you are automatically redirected to the Add AI system asset form.

5.  In the **Details** section of the form, fill in the fields and then select **Next**.

    For field information, see [Create AI system assets](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/intelligent-experiences/create-ai-system-assets-newexperience.md).

6.  On the Relationships page, from the **Related to** list, select **Business Applications**.

7.  Select **Add from inventory**.

8.  In the **Select Business Applications** dialog box, select the checkbox next to each business application that you want to associate, and then select **Add**.

9.  Select **Next** to continue to **Use and Purpose**, or **Submit for review** if you're editing an existing asset.


## Result

The selected business applications appear in the **Details** tab for that AI system.
