Podcast highlights

In the TIC industry, diverse data types pose a challenge for traditional analytical methods. How can AI help?

The TIC industry encounters an array of data types, from text and visual media to complex reports. Traditional analysis requires laborious manual conversions, whereas AI thrives on such varied, unstructured data, increasing speed, volume handling and accuracy. The evolving regulatory landscape, growing in complexity, is another domain where AI excels, navigating with ease where traditional methods lag.

What is an effective example of AI implementation?

In the heavily regulated food and beverage industry, compliance with multifaceted global standards is vital. DigiComply leverages AI to handle the immense volume of diverse, language-spanning regulations, assisting in real-time monitoring and interpretation to ensure compliance. AI supports decision-making by rapidly providing relevant knowledge, transforming tasks previously performed manually into efficient, reliable processes.

What potential do these AI innovations have to transform TIC services?

DigiComply is a very interesting case, as it is capable of synthesizing knowledge from extensive documentation globally, an impossible task manually. AI facilitates the creation of 'virtual documents' tailored to diverse regulatory requirements, enabling efficient data and knowledge scalability. This advancement allows for precise regulation compliance in multiple markets, revolutionizing the way TIC services operate and offering unprecedented accuracy and convenience.
