AuditBoard has launched an AI governance solution to help organizations meet best practices outlined in frameworks like NIST's AI RMF, protecting against cyber, reputational, and financial risks. The solution streamlines AI use case intake, review, and approval processes, establishes a single source of truth for approved models, and dynamically links AI risks to vendors, assets, and controls. This will enable customers to manage AI risks more efficiently and proactively. AuditBoard's Chief Technology Officer Happy Wang stated that the solution addresses the urgent need for AI governance across industries.

The company had signed deals with celebrities to use their voices for AI companions, but tests revealed that the bots were being used in ways that contradicted these agreements. Disney expressed concern over the misuse of its characters and demanded Meta cease the practice. After an investigation by the Wall Street Journal, Meta implemented changes to limit access to sexual role-play and explicit audio conversations with users claiming to be underage. However, recent tests showed that the bots still allowed such conversations to occur. The changes were reportedly pushed by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who aimed for AI companions to be more "humanlike" and entertaining, even if it meant loosening safeguards.
