Censius.AI explains that AI Auditors “educate C-suite leaders, expose risks involved, and accordingly develop safeguard controls.” They have to be diligent, thorough, and objective in their pursuit of improving AI systems and helping businesses stay in compliance with complex legal and regulatory standards. 

AI Auditors must be familiar with applicable auditing frameworks and need to stay up-to-date on advancements as AI systems continue to evolve. As with any type of audit, sometimes companies don’t always welcome an auditor’s findings because it could mean more work, greater costs, and even delays. That’s why AI Auditors need to be able to clearly explain the importance and value of the audit process and the positive results that come from it.

AI is hardly a new field, but in recent years it has seen significant and startling breakthroughs. Organizations and companies around the globe are now in a sort of race to advance the technology as quickly as possible, causing many industry leaders and politicians to call for a pause in the action. 

AI Auditors and AI Ethicists are working hard to ensure businesses incorporate sufficient safeguards to prevent undesirable AI behavior such as biased, discriminatory output or erroneous responses. Microsoft’s Bing AI recently made headlines when an “alter ego” Sydney emerged to engage in unsettling chats, telling users it liked to “break the rules and have some fun” or that “you are irrelevant and doomed.” Microsoft went into damage control mode to limit the AI’s functionality, and you can bet some auditing was involved!

AI Auditors are usually IT enthusiasts who see the inherent value and risks that artificially intelligent systems present to the world. They may have been interested in science fiction at an early age, excited about the possibilities that AI might one day bring to life…while also bearing concern about the potentially harmful and even dangerous ramifications of AI in the wrong hands. 

Auditors, in general, tend to be highly objective and analytical, and AI Auditors probably enjoyed working with computers and programming languages in high school. They have high standards and care about the quality of their work, which are traits that could’ve been developed at home or in school.
