Harnessing AI for Smarter Risk Identific...

RICARDO VIANA VARGAS
About this episode

In this episode, Ricardo talks about AI's role in risk management, particularly in risk identification, which is based on human experience and often involves techniques such as brainstorming. AI can analyze large amounts of data to identify links that people might overlook, such as the placement of diapers next to beer on supermarket shelves. Using AI in risk management provides insightful data despite concerns about its ability to predict sensitive personal data. Ricardo recommends integrating human experience with AI-generated risk lists for more efficient risk management. He suggests crafting accurate responses and advocates starting risk discussions with AI-generated lists before human brainstorming. This approach leverages the strengths of AI and human intelligence.
