RIMS Report: Making Sense of AI

The risk of not adopting some form of artificial intelligence (AI) can be much greater than the potential risks of implementation according to the new RIMS Professional Report: Making Sense of Artificial Intelligence and Its Impact on Risk Management.

Authored by RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Council member and director, Microsoft Enterprise Risk Management Tom Easthope, the report explores forms of AI available to organizations, common implementations scenarios for risk professionals to consider, as well as opportunities for those professionals to advance their careers in light of the emergence of AI technologies.

“While the discussions about the long-term impacts of artificial intelligence on society are important to understand and track, the more pressing issue is to understand the impacts on your industry, your organization and, ultimately, your career,” Easthope said.

“Risk professionals should find ways to participate in strategic discussions around AI and educate themselves on the world of possibilities it offers them and their organizations.”

The report explores AI’s foundational concepts, such as data and algorithms. It also discusses forms of AI, such as artificial general intelligence, (often referred to as “thinking machines” along the lines of C-3PO from the “Star Wars” films) and artificial narrow intelligence (ANI) which focuses on tasks that have major business impacts, including image recognition, credit card fraud detection and speech recognition. Citing research that AI-derived business value will be worth $3.9 trillion in the next three years, ANI presents risks and opportunities for risk professionals and their companies.

And while the report suggests that changes introduced by AI innovation and automation will impact jobs and tasks in the risk, compliance and insurance industry, it also presents methods to keep professionals less expendable, if they’re willing to embrace the technology.

“But while change is inevitable, it does not mean that your risk career must end,” the report said. “Essentially, if you understand the organization’s strategy and how it can enhance its operations with ANI or the context around data, then you have something to offer.”

RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council (SERMC) is organized to provide leadership on strategic and enterprise risk management research, practices, topics and issues, in alignment with RIMS’ vision, affiliations and partnerships. SERMC comprises RIMS members, academics, strategists, consultants and other practitioners who are experienced with strategic and enterprise risk management and related issues.

Widening Wealth Gap Is Biggest Global Risk, World Economic Forum Predicts

Wealth Disparity

According to the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks 2014 report, the chronic gap between the incomes of the richest and poorest citizens is the risk most likely to cause serious global damage in the next decade. Looking forward, the 700 experts queried emphasized that the next generation will only feel this disparity more acutely if current conditions continue. Those presently coming of age face “twin challenges” of reduced employment opportunity and rising education costs, prompting the World Economic Forum to consider the impact on political and social stability as well as economic development.

“Many young people today face an uphill battle,” explained David Cole, group chief risk officer of Swiss Re. “As a result of the financial crisis and globalization, the younger generation in the mature markets struggle with ever fewer job opportunities and the need to support an aging population. While in the emerging markets there are more jobs to be had, the workforce does not yet possess the broad based skill-sets necessary to satisfy demand. It’s vital we sit down with young people now and begin planning solutions aimed at creating fit-for-purpose educational systems, functional job-markets, efficient skills exchanges and the sustainable future we all depend on.”

After a widening global wealth gap, experts predicted that extreme weather events will be the global risk next most likely to cause systemic shock on a global scale. They identified fiscal crises as the global risk with the potential to have the biggest impact over the next 10 years.

The top five most likely and most potentially impactful global risks are:

Most Likely Risks

1. Income disparity (societal risk)

2. Extreme weather events (environmental risk)

3. Unemployment and underemployment (economic risk)

4. Climate change (environmental risk)

5. Cyberattacks (technological risk)

 

Most Potentially Impactful Risks

1. Fiscal crises (economic risk)

2. Climate change (environmental risk)

3. Water crises (environmental risk)

4. Unemployment and underemployment (economic risk)

5. Critical information infrastructure breakdown(technological risk)
