How C-Suite Leaders are mitigating current and emerging risks: In this interview we hear Dr. Mark Beasley a professor and director of the ERM initiative at Poole College of Management at North Carolina State University, and Matt Moore, a global leader of risk and compliance at Protiviti, discuss about the priorities for C-suite and board members in terms of mitigating current and emerging risks. The conversation draws directly from 2024 Executive Perspectives on Top Risks report, published by the NC State University. The top near-term risk identified was that of economic uncertainty, including inflation, interest rates, labor availability, and supply chain pressures. Artificial Intelligence (AI) was viewed as both an opportunity and a risk, while culture and communication were seen as strategic differentiators. Watch the interview.
Integrating Enterprise Risk Management to address AI-related risks in healthcare: The incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare provides key benefits in terms of health diagnostics, clinical processes, and access to healthcare services. However, it also introduces new risks that pose challenges to current safety and ethical norms. Leveraging ERM to tackle these risks can help healthcare organizations provide a forward-looking strategy and risk response. This method includes steps to address core AI-related risks such as algorithmic bias, system failures and privacy risks. This article examines the growth of AI in the healthcare industry, and some of the opportunities that it offers such as real-time monitoring of vital signs with alert capabilities in case of changes, enabling more rapid interventions. It also discusses some of the challenges on the horizon from use of AI such as hallucination risk, and the increase in risk when AI systems communicate and work with other systems. It argues that ERM presents itself as a promising solution to tackle the multiple and heterogeneous risks associated with the use of intelligent systems in health care settings. Read more.
