AI and Product Safety Compliance – Can It Be Trusted?

October 23, 2025

📝Editor’s Note

Regulators are tightening their stance on how organizations use artificial intelligence, from model transparency to data governance. Yet, the same technology is becoming vital in managing compliance operations. The next few months may define how AI transitions from being a compliance challenge to becoming a trusted compliance ally.

AI and Product Safety Compliance – Can It Be Trusted?

Artificial intelligence is changing how companies manage product safety, but trust remains a central concern. According to a recent Lexology report, AI-driven compliance systems can detect risks faster, predict failures, and streamline documentation, reducing manual intervention. However, questions persist about accountability and data bias. Regulators in Europe and the United States are still assessing how these technologies fit within existing safety and consumer protection laws. Experts believe the key lies in “explainable AI”—systems that can justify decisions with clear evidence. Until such transparency becomes standard, companies must balance automation with human oversight to maintain regulatory integrity and consumer trust.

  4. Align AI governance with ISO/IEC 42001 (AI management system standard).

  5. Train compliance teams to understand how AI outputs are generated.

  6. Establish clear accountability for AI-driven compliance actions.
