Kyndryl offers policy-as-code to tackle regulatory snares

Kyndryl is offering help to companies wanting to use AI in regulated market sectors: a new policy-as-code capability that reads their internal rules, regulatory requirements, and operational controls and turns them into machine-readable policies to govern AI workflows. This is certainly an issue for many businesses. Kyndryl’s own research suggests that 31% of customers see compliance concerns as a barrier to AI investment. The company said the new capability can overcome the limitations of conventional AI agent controls by embedding regulatory requirements directly into AI agent operations. Kyndryl could have done with some help in navigating its own regulatory environment. Earlier this week, it announced the replacement of its CFO, controller, and general counsel during its quarterly earnings call. Kyndryl said it was delaying filing its financial results and was “reviewing its cash management practices, … the efficacy of the company’s internal control of its financial reporting, and certain other matters.”
