This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of AI risk management, addressing foundational concepts, advanced analysis methodologies, assessment frameworks, governance models, industry-specific applications, and future challenges. Beginning with the fundamentals, it clarifies key definitions and classifications of AI risks, differentiates risk from uncertainty, and examines historical lessons. It categorizes risks across technical, ethical, economic, and environmental dimensions, emphasizing the evolving lifecycle of AI risk from design through deployment and continuous monitoring.

The discussion advances into rigorous risk analysis techniques, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches such as probabilistic risk assessment, scenario simulation, and bias audits. AI-specific modeling techniques including causal networks, Monte Carlo simulations, and agent-based models are explored, highlighting tools to detect and mitigate bias and fairness issues while improving explainability.

Frameworks and standards like NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC guidelines, and OECD principles provide structured approaches to risk assessment, while operational practices and toolkits integrate risk considerations directly into AI development pipelines.

Governance sections detail internal structures, accountability mechanisms, and legal challenges including cross-border compliance, data protection, and liability. Third-party and supply chain risks emphasize the complexity of AI ecosystems.

Industry-focused chapters explore sector-specific risks in healthcare, finance, and defense, illustrating practical applications and regulatory requirements.
