Aon launches AI governance assessment tool

Aon has launched an enterprise-level assessment designed to help organisations understand and manage artificial intelligence (AI)-related risk.

Called AI Risk Diagnostic, the proposition provides a structured view of AI governance, maturity and risk exposure as the technology becomes increasingly embedded across business operations.

Built by the broker’s global risk consulting team, the diagnostic analyses client inputs through the lens of AI maturity and AI risk taxonomy.

As a result, clients receive tailored reporting that includes an overall assessment of AI maturity, key governance gaps and priority areas of action, visual dashboards, heat maps and risk exposure mapping across key AI risk domains.

Providing ‘visibility’

Richard Waterer, global risk consulting leader at Aon, said: “AI is creating significant opportunities for organisations, but it is also introducing new and increasingly complex risk considerations across governance, compliance, operations and resilience.

“As boards, regulators and stakeholders seek greater visibility into how AI is being deployed and governed, organisations need a clearer understanding of their AI maturity, control environment and exposure.

”Our AI Risk Diagnostic helps provide that visibility, enabling leaders to make better-informed decisions about governance, oversight and responsible innovation.”
