# Assets list- managed and unmanaged assets

Learn about the AI assets list, managed and unmanaged assets.

## Assets list

AI assets are presented in a list format and organized by display name, provider, vendor, managed by, lifecycle phase, state, status, and risk classification.

## Managed & Unmanaged assets

Starting with the March \(2026\) release, you can designate assets as managed or unmanaged directly from the list. By default, all the assets in AI Control Tower are under unmanaged assets.

When an unmanaged asset is marked as managed, it gains access to AI Control Tower capabilities such as governance, lifecycle management, value assessment, risk classification, security, and privacy. If a managed asset is switched back to unmanaged, it loses all the before mentioned AI Control Tower capabilities.

The Automation rules define how AI assets are set to managed. For information on Automation rules page, see [Automation rules](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/intelligent-experiences/ai-control-tower/automation-rules.md)

**Note:** Initiating a steward review for an unmanaged asset triggers the lifecycle process and automatically transitions the asset to a managed state.
