Loss of Customer Confidence and Trust
combined with Regulator Penalties can be Significant
Using AI can be easy. Safely implementing AI in the workplace can be complex.
Implementing AI may be new but it faces many of the same challenges we’ve been managing in regulated enterprise environments for years.
Losing customer confidence and trust because of a lack of robust governance can be a catastrophe and regulator penalties can be significant.
"Only 25% of any AI implementation is about the Technology."

Our independent review provides you with the clarity and reassurance for managing your management, technical and functional risks.
Your organisation is deploying AI to enhance efficiency, customer service and market advantage. But there is a structural vulnerability in AI systems that can create systematic risk: AI systems are optimised to be excellent at common scenarios while systematically failing on rare, critical cases - exactly the situations where expert human judgment and regulatory compliance matter most.
Amplification of the Average
AI models are often trained to maximise statistical probability. They learn to predict the most likely pattern. While this makes them excellent at handling common, high-volume situations, it means that rare but critical scenarios can be systematically underweighted or ignored.
Automation Complacency
When teams see fluent, authoritative-looking AI analysis, research shows adherence rates significantly increase, even when the AI is wrong. This automation bias can reduce the critical vigilance needed to detect failure, amplifying errors precisely when independent judgment is most vital.
Personal Accountability
The principles-based approach in the UK relies on existing regulators. For organisations operating in the Financial Services sector, the SM&CR regulations of the Financial Conduct Authority hold the executives and senior managers personally accountable for any AI systems that fail.
