Unlocking the Power of AI in Policy Audits
AI isn’t just a tool—it’s a lens through which to understand existing authorization systems. While traditionally AI aids in policy authoring and implementation, its role shifts dramatically during audits.
Key Insights:
-
Difference Matters:
- In authoring, AI explores alternatives; in audits, it assesses what is.
- The posture changes from collaborator to examiner.
-
Audits Focus On:
- Clearly explaining permissions and denials.
- Enumerating who can access which resources.
- Identifying unexpected access paths.
-
Example Impact:
- A concrete audit can highlight undocumented assumptions, revealing inconsistencies between implementation and intent.
AI’s ability to surface scope, risk, and clarity is invaluable. Used correctly, it fosters accountability without losing oversight.
