Simplifying Compliance - Cleaning Up Policy Sludge with Trained AI Tools 

Policy sludge—the build-up of overlapping, inconsistent, outdated, and fragmented rules—adds unnecessary compliance burden, obscures real risks, and drains scarce capacity from both regulators and regulated institutions. 
This roundtable will examine how AI-enabled policy analysis and structured regulatory data can support a more consistent, transparent, and evidence-based review of legal and regulatory frameworks—helping supervisors and other stakeholders pinpoint where “policy sludge” sits within and across mandates, navigate complexity, and accelerate targeted reforms that streamline requirements, reduce unnecessary burden, and strengthen integrity, inclusion, and resilience (including cyber resilience). 
Global standards pressure is rising - resources aren’t. Regulators, standard-setters, and regulated institutions are expected to align with international standards, protect consumers, markets, and the environment, support innovation, safeguard financial stability, and strengthen cyber resilience, while operating with limited capacity and resources.
