The solution—always with a human overseeing it—enables more consistent use of analytics and is expected to increase productivity by around 10% in audits that call for large-scale data analysis. It also reduces manual and repetitive tasks and frees up time for activities where human professional judgment is essential, such as analyzing anomalies and assessing risks.]]>

                            <![CDATA[BBVA has created an <a href="https://www.bbva.com/en/innovation/data-innovation/artificial-intelligence/">artificial intelligence</a> assistant with ChatGPT Enterprise to support data analysis at Internal Audit, from validating and designing tests to interpreting results. The solution—always with a human overseeing it—enables more consistent use of analytics and is expected to increase productivity by around 10% in audits that call for large-scale data analysis. It also reduces manual and repetitive tasks and frees up time for activities where human professional judgment is essential, such as analyzing anomalies and assessing risks.]]>
