Rethinking Compliance In The Age of AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) began as a bold concept at the Dartmouth Summer Research Project in 1956, where researchers first suggested that machines could replicate aspects of human intelligence. Decades later, that early idea has evolved into powerful tools now integral to our daily work, including the world of regulatory compliance.
For employee compliance teams, AI presents a major opportunity. As regulations grow more complex and data becomes harder to manage, AI can help identify risk patterns, monitor activity, and streamline enforcement. Its purpose is not to replace human expertise but to build upon it, strengthening decision-making and unlocking new possibilities through collaboration between people and technology.
At StarCompliance (Star), we believe the future of compliance lies in combining intelligent technology with thoughtful governance and experienced professionals. Our new executive brief, The Intelligence Era: Moving Beyond Automation, explores how AI is being applied today and what it means for the future of risk management.
Star is deeply committed to learning how the industry is using AI today and exploring which aspects will drive its future adoption. That’s why we conducted the 2025 AI & Compliance Market Study, which found that over 60% of firms expect to adopt advanced AI tools by 2030. This projection is echoed by a 2024 Deloitte report, which found that nearly 70% of financial services leaders expect AI to play a central role in transforming compliance operations within the next three to five years, confirming the industry’s accelerating shift toward intelligent compliance solutions.
“These insights highlight the momentum building around AI in compliance. It reinforces our focus on supporting firms as they navigate this evolving landscape with clarity, confidence, and innovation.” – Kelvin Dickenson, Star’s Chief Product Officer
The brief also introduces Star’s AI-Assisted Marketing Compliance Review, a new tool designed to support marketing, advertising, and compliance teams as they navigate increasingly complex regulatory standards. By helping flag potential issues in promotional materials and streamlining the review process, this solution brings efficiency without sacrificing control.
As the use of AI grows, so does the responsibility to use it wisely. Compliance programs that thrive will be those that keep people at the center, using AI to accelerate decisions while ensuring human judgment remains the final word.
