AI trust , risk and security management With the widespread accessibility of AI , the need for AI Trust , Risk , and Security Management ( TRiSM ) has become more urgent . Without guardrails , AI models can rapidly generate compounding negative effects that spin out of control , overshadowing any positive performance and societal gains that AI enables .
Gartner predicts that , by 2026 , enterprises applying AI TRiSM controls will significantly improve decision-making accuracy by eliminating faulty and illegitimate information .
