AI Governance, and Internal Controls: How Much Human Review Is Enough?
with Jason Pikoos — COSO Board Member · Modern Finance @ Meta
Your auditor says human-in-the-loop. Their competitor says that's not enough without continuous monitoring. PwC is pushing "deterministic AI workflows," Amazon has banned full automation until the PCAOB speaks — and the PCAOB hasn't. At our June AI Shareforum, 160 practitioners touched all four firms in one conversation and got four different answers.
Jason is one of the people writing the vocabulary the rest of us are missing. He sits on the COSO board, co-authored the new FEI framework on AI in internal controls, and is running this playbook inside Meta right now. He'll walk through the decision tree — is the AI the process or the control? — and the terms about to land in your SOX documentation: full human-in-the-loop, shadow reliance, established reliance, and what it actually takes to reduce human review without your auditor flinching.
Format: Jason talks, Angela moderates, you bring the hard questions (we're seeding it with the top ones from the June forum).
