Nature of risks inherent to AI applications: We believe that the challenge in governing AI is less about dealing with completely new types of risk and more about existing risks either being harder to identify in an effective and timely manner, given the complexity and speed of AI solutions, or manifesting themselves in unfamiliar ways. As such, firms do not require completely new processes for dealing with AI, but they will need to enhance existing ones to take into account AI and fill the necessary gaps. The likely impact on the level of resources required, as well as on roles and responsibilities, will also need to be addressed. AI and risk management: Innovating with confidence | Deloitte
