“Artificial intelligence is creating significant opportunities for organizations, but it is also introducing new and increasingly complex risk considerations across governance, compliance, operations and resilience,” said Richard Waterer, Aon Global Risk Consulting Leader.
DUBLIN: Aon plc, a leading global professional services firm, today announced the launch of its AI Risk Diagnostic, an enterprise-level assessment designed to help organizations understand and manage AI-related risk.
The diagnostic provides a structured view of AI governance, maturity and risk exposure as AI becomes increasingly embedded across business operations.
“Artificial intelligence is creating significant opportunities for organizations, but it is also introducing new and increasingly complex risk considerations across governance, compliance, operations and resilience,” said Richard Waterer, Aon Global Risk Consulting Leader.
“As boards, regulators and stakeholders seek greater visibility into how AI is being deployed and governed, organizations need a clearer understanding of their AI maturity, control environment and exposure. Our AI Risk Diagnostic helps provide that visibility, enabling leaders to make better-informed decisions about governance, oversight and responsible innovation.”said Waterer.
Managing AI risk in a more complex environment
As AI adoption accelerates, organizations face growing expectations to demonstrate effective governance, oversight and control of AI-related risks. Aon’s AI Risk Diagnostic delivers an independent, enterprise-level assessment of AI risk, controls and maturity, helping organizations evaluate their AI governance and identify where AI may be creating or amplifying risk.
Built by Aon’s Global Risk Consulting team, the diagnostic aligns with leading frameworks and guidance, including the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act and the National Institute of Standards and Technology AI Risk Management Framework.
The diagnostic analyzes client inputs through two complementary lenses:
-AI Maturity Analysis, which assesses the maturity of AI governance, lifecycle management, processes and controls.
-AI Risk Taxonomy Analysis, which identifies areas where AI may create new risks or amplify existing exposures across the organization.
Clients receive tailored reporting that includes:
-An overall assessment of AI maturity, key governance gaps and priority areas of action.
-Visual dashboards, heat maps and risk exposure mapping across key AI risk domains.
-Prioritized recommendations to strengthen governance, controls, compliance and resilience.
By linking AI maturity with risk exposure, the AI risk diagnostic helps organizations identify governance gaps, understand where AI may be creating operational, regulatory, cyber, liability and business risks and prioritize actions to strengthen resilience, compliance and oversight. The assessment provides a clearer foundation for AI-related decision-making across the organization.
The launch of the AI Risk Diagnostic builds on Aon’s broader investment in data, analytics and technology-enabled capabilities.
Alongside solutions such as Aon Broker Copilot, Aon Claims Copilot and Aon’s suite of Risk Analyzer capabilities, the AI Risk Diagnostic reflects Aon’s approach to combining risk expertise, analytics and technology to help clients better understand risk, evaluate opportunities and make more informed decisions in an increasingly complex risk environment.
