Many organizations now deploy AI tools to collect, analyze, and interpret large data sets — supporting faster decision-making and more effective risk detection. AI adoption does not eliminate the need for experienced professionals; its true objective is not merely cost reduction, but enhancing process efficiency and accuracy. To mitigate operational and compliance risks, organizations should provide staff with secure, corporate AI tools and accounts. Without official access, employees often resort to unauthorized platforms, exposing organizations to potential data breaches, confidentiality issues, and regulatory non-compliance. A clear governance structure is essential. The AI policy should be owned or co-owned by the Risk or Compliance Officer, ensuring a balanced approach among compliance, innovation and control, while the CISO may take a highly protective position and HR may lack the technical or regulatory depth.
