Graphiant AI Usage Dashboard provides an executive-facing view that translates raw network telemetry into business-readable AI usage intelligence. It provides answers to executive(s) who is accountable for AI governance, budget, and risk. Such as: - Which AI platforms are employees sending company data to? - Which LAN segments and sites are using AI the most? - Are employees using unapproved AI tools (shadow AI)? - Is AI usage growing, and when does it peak? ## Locating the AI Adoption Dashboard within the Graphiant Portal From the Home screen, navigate to the AI Adoption Dashboard by **clicking ‘AI Usage Dashboard’ under 'AI Command Center' in the sidebar.** ![Dashboard displaying AI Command Center and usage statistics for network performance.](https://cdn.document360.io/d86ecd1c-49f6-4fac-83cc-5e344f28f84f/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-08-04 at 12.57.06 PM.png) This will take you to the **AI Usage Dashboard.** ![AI usage dashboard displaying tools, users, and token statistics for analysis.](https://cdn.document360.io/d86ecd1c-49f6-4fac-83cc-5e344f28f84f/Images/Documentation/Screenshot 2026-08-04 at 12.58.52 PM.png) **AI Usage Dashboard** is divided into four sections: **What, where, when, and leaderboard.** 1.
