Written By Ori Wellington

Diligent’s launch of ACL AI Studio—an AI-powered extension to its long-standing audit analytics suite—comes at a time of increasing scrutiny over the practical value of artificial intelligence in risk and compliance software. Unveiled during this week’s IIA International Conference, the product promises to empower audit, compliance, and risk professionals to run advanced analytics through natural language rather than traditional scripting. But beneath the surface-level innovation lies a more complex story about legacy adaptation, GRC market pressures, and the widening gap between analytics potential and real-world IRM needs.
