Frequently asked questions about AI in governance, risk and compliance (GRC):

“AI” refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines. In GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance), AI is increasingly used to automate compliance processes, enhance risk assessments, and provide actionable insights.

Many technologies fall under the “AI” umbrella. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the broadest term and refers to machines designed to mimic human intelligence. This includes tasks like problem-solving, learning, and decision-making. Examples of AI include virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa.

Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of AI that involves training algorithms to learn from data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed for each task. For instance, ML is used in recommendation systems like Netflix's.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are a type of deep learning model designed to understand and generate human language. They are trained on vast amounts of text data and can perform tasks like translation, summarisation, and conversation. Examples include GPT-3 and Claude.

Non-Generative AI focuses on analysing and classifying existing data rather than creating new content. It excels in tasks like pattern recognition, prediction, and classification.

Generative AI (Gen-AI) is a subset of artificial intelligence that uses generative models to create new content such as text, images, videos, audio, or software code based on input prompts. These models learn patterns and structures from large datasets and use this information to generate original content. Examples of generative AI tools include chatbots like ChatGPT, text-to-image models like DALL·E, and text-to-video models.

AI can analyse vast amounts of data in real-time, identify patterns such as finding route causes, and automate routine tasks such as logging incidents, thereby reducing manual effort and increasing accuracy.

Benefits include improved accuracy in risk assessments, reduced manual effort, enhanced compliance monitoring, and better decision-making capabilities.
AI can reduce costs associated with manual compliance processes, minimise risks, and improve overall efficiency, leading to significant cost savings and better resource allocation. AI can also help with better and faster data capture and analysis, which means businesses can make better and more timely decisions, helping them avoid or minimise risks and associated financial losses.
