AI Can Feel Like a Tsunami of Innovation. Are You Ready?

From Machine Learning to AI agents to Agentic AI, Aravo AI offers solutions for third-party risk management to navigate the oncoming wave of AI innovation.

Innovation Is Messy and Unpredictable. AI is No Different.

A recent June 2025 Gartner report reveals a stark reality:

fewer than one in five generative AI projects deliver their promised business value.

The challenges are daunting, ranging from data, privacy, and compliance risks to integration and technology hurdles, organizational gaps, and regulatory uncertainty.

And yet this wave of innovation cannot be ignored or delayed, as it changes the game of managing third-party risk in a global ecosystem.

A Way Forward for TPRM Transformation with AI — Without The Mess

AI is redefining how organizations approach TPRM. While innovation can feel overwhelming, adopting it doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing proposition for third-party risk management teams. Instead of a massive wave, AI can be approached as a series of smaller waves that teams adopt over time, reducing the chaos and delivering measurable business value.

Aravo’s approach to AI is embedded in our Intelligence First™ Platform and offers a phased, practical solution that reflects the realities of AI adoption. Today, risk teams spend most of their effort on identifying risk. With Aravo AI, teams automate risk identification via machine learning, shifting their focus to curating risk monitoring, remediation, and resilience. Aravo AI drives third-party risk management with a greater emphasis on business value and a phased approach that reflects the reality of implementing AI — all to help with risk for large, global enterprises. The result is a clearer, calmer path with AI-powered third-party risk management.

Manage AI Responsibly:
What to Know Before You Paddle Out

For risk professionals, AI holds immense promise, but managing AI responsibly presents a complex, two-sided challenge for risk and third-party risk management professionals. Organizations struggle to move beyond the early stages of AI implementation due to complex technical, ethical, and organizational hurdles. Success requires a strategic approach built on strong governance, clear AI policy, and quality data. Risk teams must not only leverage AI to streamline their internal workflows but also rigorously assess the responsible AI practices and principles of their third-party ecosystem. With AI TPRM, it’s essential to know what kind of waters you’re wading into.
