The Future of Compliance in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) across industries has fundamentally altered the way compliance functions are managed, signaling a critical transformation in corporate governance and operational control. As digital transformation accelerates, the reliance on AI in compliance frameworks has grown considerably due to its ability to process large data volumes, identify patterns, and provide real-time oversight. While AI promises to improve compliance processes through automation, real-time monitoring, and predictive analytics, it also introduces new risks and challenges related to transparency, accountability, and data privacy. This paper explores the future of compliance in the era of AI, examining how businesses and regulators can navigate the complexities of AI-driven compliance frameworks. It discusses the benefits, risks, and ethical concerns associated with AI in compliance and proposes strategies for ensuring AI’s responsible and effective integration into compliance practices. Additionally, this paper addresses the limitations of the study and integrates findings from previous research for a more robust understanding of the subject.
