Executive Summary
AI adoption within regulated functions remains constrained by persistent trust concerns. Buyers continue to cite limitations around contextual grounding, explainability, data security and auditability in current AI models and their outputs, pointing to the need for a more architectural approach to embedding AI within risk management platforms. This report outlines how vendors can address these trust gaps through targeted, high-impact design features, such as linking to the source materials underpinning AI outputs. It also provides guidance for both vendors shaping AI product roadmaps and buyers seeking to evaluate the reliability of AI-enabled risk management platforms.About the Authors
