RISK ASSESSMENTS: UP TO THE TASK?

Legislative mandates and emerging standards for AI are heavily dependent on effective Risk Assessment processes, but the development of assessments that can fully address the vast range of AI risks and relevant mitigations is still a moving target.  The effective intersection of AI assessments and data protection assessments continues to be a priority, as is the importance of scaling assessments that can be impactful globally while addressing sector-specific issues.
