AI-assisted compliance can support organizations by:
- Turning regulations into systems that make compliance determinations. section 6.3

An organization can first test an AI compliance tool in a closed sandbox, review its privacy policies, restrict confidential information, obtain user consent where needed, and monitor usage. Hallucinations and mistakes remain possible, so the tool should not be relied on uncritically. section 6.3 section 3.12
