Aon has launched an AI Risk Diagnostic, an enterprise-level assessment designed to help organisations evaluate and manage risks arising from the growing use of artificial intelligence across business operations. The solution provides organisations with a structured assessment of their AI governance maturity, control environment and overall risk exposure.
Developed by Aon’s Global Risk Consulting team, the diagnostic draws on recognised frameworks and regulatory guidance, including standards from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act, and the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework.
The assessment analyses organisations through two principal components. The AI Maturity Analysis evaluates areas including AI governance, lifecycle management, processes and controls. The AI Risk Taxonomy Analysis examines where artificial intelligence could introduce new risks or increase existing organisational exposures.
Following the assessment, organisations receive tailored reporting covering their overall AI maturity, governance gaps and priority areas requiring action. The reports can include dashboards, heat maps and risk exposure mapping across different AI risk domains, together with prioritised recommendations aimed at strengthening governance, regulatory compliance, internal controls and organisational resilience.
According to Aon, linking AI maturity with specific risk exposures can help businesses identify where artificial intelligence may create or increase operational, regulatory, cyber, liability and broader business risks.
Richard Waterer, Aon’s global risk consulting leader, said organisations are gaining significant opportunities from artificial intelligence while simultaneously facing increasingly complex issues involving governance, compliance, operations and resilience. He noted that boards, regulators and other stakeholders are seeking greater visibility into how AI systems are deployed and governed, increasing the need for organisations to understand their maturity and control environment.
The launch forms part of Aon’s broader investment in data, analytics and technology-enabled risk capabilities. Its existing solutions include Aon Broker Copilot, Aon Claims Copilot and the Risk Analyzer suite. Aon operates across more than 120 countries through its risk capital and human capital businesses and also has a significant presence in captive insurance management.
