AI is expected to become a fixture in QMS auditing, but how is its adoption viewed by those responsible for oversight? This session presents emerging insights from Certification Bodies and Regulators using structured survey data and targeted interviews.
This presentation will explore three key areas:
Perception – How do these stakeholders view the use of AI tools in audits?
Adoption – What AI-enabled tools or technologies are they currently using or evaluating within their own audit processes?
Capability Building – How are they preparing and training their auditors to use or assess AI systems effectively?
Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of how oversight organizations are adapting to AI and how to succeed in this changing environment.
