Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds the promise of reducing insider risk incidents, but it comes with a unique set of challenges. This paper outlines the potential pitfalls of leveraging AI for insider risk analysis and suggests methods for mitigating those challenges. Section 1 explains AI and its many implementations and applications, including those specific to the domain of insider risk. Section 2 outlines the challenges and pitfalls of AI and how those apply specifically to insider risk analysis. Section 3 discusses at what point it is appropriate to use AI in the insider risk domain and what to consider when implementing these methods operationally.
