Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the business landscape, and this is especially true for anyone working in compliance. But while AI offers immense potential to streamline processes, enhance decision-making, and mitigate risks, it also introduces a new set of challenges that compliance professionals must navigate.
Those challenges include determining what is the bigger risk for your organization: Using AI or not using it? Finding your roadmap to a complete AI policy might be impossible as the technology continues to evolve, but refusing to start the journey isn’t an option either.
For many companies, AI risk visibility is opaque as the technology goes through its growing pains, but for others being left behind while a competitor ethically innovates their way to the top is a risk they can’t take. These issues and more will be addressed at Compliance Week’s AI & Compliance Summit, Oct. 8-9, at Boston University.

The proliferation of AI, as well as the promised business cases promoting its use, has led companies around the world to quickly invest in the technology. Executives hope these AI tools will improve efficiencies, reduce costs, and help them stay competitive. But it could lead to just the opposite.
AI may be one of the hottest things in the business world but former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris haven’t devoted much time to discussing the technology. Still, each candidate has offered a few clues as to how they would govern over this next wave of innovation.
As the artificial intelligence boom sweeps into the business world, employees are increasingly concerned about ethics questions and data privacy, a new Deloitte survey found, leading them to increasingly lose trust in their organizations.
The era of artificial intelligence adoption is testing the old ways of doing compliance, underscoring the need for continuous monitoring. Compliance isn’t a one-and-done activity, but sometimes organizational incentives and goals fail to prioritize the importance of this.
While companies are exploring and building artificial intelligence technology, lawmakers and regulators are trying to identify what ground rules they need to set. These guardrails are what companies and governments alike believe are essential parts of ensuring safe and responsible use of the technology.
Companies are adopting artificial intelligence tools at a breakneck pace, but it’s increasingly clear that they set guardrails early. AI leaders say that approaching the technology with safety and ethics in mind will help ensure its upside benefits, while avoiding the significant risks it poses as well.
