Thank you for the input, Youyou. During our group discussion, some members shared their instituion are using AI for COI reviews or have developed customized AI system for vaccin research units. One member was particularly interested in how AI can be used to analyze fiannncial date transaction anomaliies which seems to align with the use case you described. Could you share a bit more about the AI system used to detect spend fraud?
In the context of Ai Governance,while enterprise paid AI is a sigiicantly safer and more efficient choice for organizations, it is still subject to risks. Even with robust protections, systems remain vulerable to threats like prompt injection, human error. requiring ongoing monitoring and oversight.

We used AI to detect some spending fraud, but our main use case is still document reading (chatbot for policies, information extraction etc). Would also be interested in AI governance discussions.

As institutions explore how to utilize AI for financial anomaly detection, conflict of interest reviews, and the development of custom systems for research units, how are you structuring governance, validating outputs, and managing liability and compliance risks to ensure these tools enhance oversight without introducing new audit or legal exposure?
