"AI auditors perform the same functions as financial auditors, but for AI output. The role bears a striking resemblance to that of financial auditors, with a major exception: AI auditors monitor and report on the behavior of AI transactions rather than monetary transactions. Notably, the processes overseen by AI auditors are exactly the same as the tasks of financial auditors, who are involved in sampling, testing, and certification."
"AI auditors won't just be technical overseers; they will need to ensure AI accuracy and viability in line with law, ethics, security, and behavioral science. AI is now pervasive, but it is often riddled with poor data quality, model drift, bias, hallucinations, slop, and other issues. Professionals need to understand which roles have a future in an AI world -- and that managing AI is more than a strictly technical role."
"Currently, AI auditors exist in a very rudimentary form, according to Zohar Bronfman, co-founder and CEO of Pecan.ai, who has been tracking the emergence of this relatively new position. There is currently no structured role dedicated to auditing for ethical or socially acceptable behavior. The closest role to an AI auditor is now quality assurance teams."
A new professional role called AI auditor is emerging to address the growing need for oversight of artificial intelligence systems. AI auditors perform functions analogous to financial auditors, monitoring AI behavior and output rather than financial transactions. They must possess both technical AI expertise and business knowledge, along with understanding of legal, ethical, security, and behavioral science considerations. Currently, only quality assurance teams verify AI accuracy and viability. AI auditors will ensure AI systems remain responsible and trustworthy while managing issues like poor data quality, model drift, bias, hallucinations, and other problems. Salary estimates range from $50,000 to $105,500 annually across the US.
