Problem
With the enforcement of the AI Basic Act, companies must conduct due diligence on vendors' legal compliance when adopting external AI solutions (chatbots, recommendation engines, document automation, etc.), but procurement teams lack AI regulatory expertise and cannot even structure the due diligence criteria. External legal consultation costs $1,500–$3,750 per vendor, and when comparing 3–5 AI vendors, due diligence costs alone exceed $7,500.
Solution
Select the type of AI solution being adopted and its intended use to auto-generate a vendor due diligence checklist based on the AI Basic Act (covering data processing, high-risk classification, transparency, bias verification, etc.). Automatically composes a questionnaire to send to vendors, collects responses, generates a vendor comparison matrix, and calculates risk scores.
