In today's rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, businesses operating in highly regulated industries face significant challenges in keeping up with the ever-changing compliance requirements. Manual processes for monitoring, analysing, and responding to regulatory changes are often time-consuming, resource-intensive, and prone to human error. As a result, organizations are increasingly turning to automation as a transformative solution for regulatory intelligence.
The recent results of a third-party survey reveal a significant untapped potential in organizations' utilization of AI technology. Surprisingly, less than 30% of organizations have successfully harnessed the transformative power of AI, with a mere 17% leveraging it to automate their day-to-day regulatory intelligence (RI) tasks. As a consequence, businesses continue to grapple with the arduous task of sifting through voluminous documents, many of which rapidly become outdated, consuming valuable time and resources.
The global regulatory intelligence industry faces several challenges, including:
Technology plays a crucial role in global regulatory intelligence by providing tools and solutions to help regulatory professionals navigate complex regulatory environments and stay up to date with the latest regulations and guidelines. Here are some ways technology is used in global regulatory intelligence:
