AI Inventory +
EU AI Act Risk Assessment

Ensuring compliance is impossible without a complete and up-to-date inventory of all AI use cases in the company. You can only regulate and monitor what you are aware of. A comprehensive portfolio provides a centralized overview of all deployed systems, including their purposes, data sources, applied algorithms, and potential risks.

This enables:

• Risk Identification: Certain AI applications may violate regulatory requirements or pose risks like bias, discrimination, or data protection issues. These risks can only be identified and addressed if the company has a clear overview of all AI use cases.
• Efficient Prioritization of Actions: With a clear inventory, resources can be focused on use cases that carry higher risks or require stricter regulatory oversight.
• Proactive Compliance with New Regulations: The regulatory landscape (e.g., EU AI Act) constantly evolves. A complete inventory ensures that new requirements can be quickly applied to all relevant use cases.

Transparency is the foundation of safety and trust, especially when dealing with AI. A company-wide portfolio of AI use cases creates this transparency by documenting all applications, their purposes, functions, and potential impacts.

This provides distinct advantages:

• Building trust: Internal and external stakeholders – from employees to customers – can understand how and why AI systems are used. This clarity strengthens trust in the technology and the company.
• Enhancing safety: Transparency allows for early identification and resolution of vulnerabilities or potential misuse, reducing risks such as data leaks, bias, or unethical decisions.
• Meeting regulatory requirements: Many regulations explicitly require transparency in AI systems (e.g., documentation of algorithms and decision-making processes). A well-documented portfolio makes it easier to meet these requirements and demonstrate compliance to regulators.

By fostering transparent communication and documentation, companies create trust – both internally and externally.

A company-wide portfolio enables targeted prioritization of AI use cases that are strategically relevant and value-driven. By centrally capturing and assessing all applications, companies can ensure efficient resource allocation while maintaining compliance.

This offers clear benefits:

• Strategic alignment: The portfolio helps identify AI use cases that directly contribute to business goals – whether it’s increasing revenue, improving efficiency, or driving innovation.
• Resource optimization: With a clear overview, resources can be prioritized for use cases that deliver the greatest value, while less strategic ones can be deferred.
• Focus on compliance-critical projects: Projects with higher risks or stricter regulatory requirements can be identified early and supported with targeted resources and compliance measures.

A strategy-aligned use case roadmap maximizes business value while ensuring adherence to regulatory standards, enabling AI to be deployed securely, sustainably, and successfully.
