AI in GRC: Because We Apparently Needed Another Buzzword-Infected Webinar

Right, so here’s the bloody gist: yet another bunch of “experts” have decided that what the world really needs is a *webinar* (because we don’t have enough of those soul-draining talkathons already) about how Artificial Intelligence is going to “revolutionize” GRC – that’s Governance, Risk, and Compliance for the uninitiated, or basically the bureaucratic black hole where common sense goes to die.

Apparently, some poor bastards are still doing risk assessments, audits, and compliance checks by hand like it’s 1999. Enter AI, buzzing in like some caffeinated intern promising to automate everything and “reduce manual workloads.” Translation: let the machines screw up faster and more efficiently! They’re bragging about AI tools that detect compliance gaps, predict risks, and manage documentation like a digital hall monitor on steroids. Utterly thrilling stuff… if your kink is spreadsheets and regulations.

Of course, they’ve invited a “panel of experts,” which is code for a bunch of suits who’ll pat each other on the back while showing slides with meaningless charts labeled “Digital Transformation” and “AI Synergy.” The cherry on top? They’re pitching it as a “free webinar,” because apparently your *time* has no value and they know damn well you’ll get suckered into attending it between endless Zoom meetings and crying into your coffee.

So yeah — AI in GRC. It’s the magical panacea! Soon you won’t need to think at all. Just feed your compliance headaches into the algorithm and watch it spit out colorful reports while you contemplate the futility of existence and whether it’s too early for another drink.

Reminds me of that time some genius at the office thought ChatGPT could handle all our incident tickets. Two days later the AI had closed every open ticket with “Problem solved, user error” and rerouted half the emails to spam. I let it operate for another week just to see the carnage. Best damn week I ever had.
