Audit and Control of Enterprise Artificial Intelligence (AI):
Maximizing the Gains, Minimizing the Risks
Artificial Intelligence is introducing transformational changes across all aspects of our society. It is delivering insights into complex problems that have eluded humans, providing unique capabilities that in some cases replace humans, and in others outperform humans. Your business most likely has begun to consider or even to adopt AI. But AI is not well understood.
This one-day workshop will provide auditors and managers with an understanding of what AI is (and what it is not), its risks, the methods for auditing and managing those risks and achieving enterprise value from AI, and ultimately how to be a leader in the successful adoption of AI.
Intended audience: Internal and External Auditors, I.T. Auditors, Risk Managers, Security Professionals, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Managers, IT Management and Staff, Business Managers, Financial Executives, Legal Counsel
Registration closes on December 3 @ 2 PM.

Allan Cytryn
Principal @ Risk Masters International LLC
Allan Cytryn is a Principal with Risk Masters International. He has more than 35 years of experience in senior IT leadership roles, including Regional CIO for Deloitte, Director of Applications for Deloitte, CIO for Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, Vice-President of Corporate Finance at Goldman Sachs, and Group Vice-President for Funds Transfer and Foreign Exchange at Bankers Trust Company. In these roles, Allan had a broad range of IT responsibilities, including Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning, and the implementation and operation of many high-performance mission-critical 24/7/365 system.
Allan began working in AI in the early 1970s, where he developed the first suite of AI systems to support computer assisted design in architecture and planning. This suite of systems reduced the time for facilities planning of large offices from 2-4 weeks to under 5 minutes, while providing a more consistent and higher quality design solution. He subsequently licensed these products to Computervision. Following that, he developed several AI systems that were deployed successfully in the financial services industry. At Goldman Sachs, he led the development of an AI-based multi-currency global equity valuation system that supported the Corporate Finance Department. The system reduced the time to develop equity valuation models from 6 weeks to 5 minutes. Also at Goldman, he developed the first system to use AI to identify “trades of interest” for screening for insider trading. At the law firm of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, he developed an interactive research system that identified in seconds contextually relevant documents in a repository of more than 2,000,000 documents.
More recently, Allan has been involved in AI policy. In his work with the Boston Global Forum where he is on the Executive Board, he has co-authored with Governor Michael Dukakis and faculty from Harvard, MIT and Brown several papers on AI Ethics. In November, 2019, he presented at the BCI International conference in London on the subject of When your Artificial Intelligence Becomes Adversarial Intelligence: Risk and Control Considerations.
Additionally, Allan also has significant global IT experience. He was responsible for building the first global networks at Bankers Trust Company, Simpson Thacher and Bartlett, and Goldman Sachs Corporate Finance. At Deloitte, he established the application development offshoring operation in Hyderabad, India, and subsequently supported the growth of the offshored Audit practice from its initiation to more than 5,000 employees.
While at Deloitte, Allan led the IT recovery after the 9/11 Attack. At Simpson Thacher and Bartlett, Allan led the recovery after the 1993 NatWest Tower bombing in London.
Over the past five years, Allan has published and spoken on Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning, Management of High-Risk Mission Critical Projects, Global Cyber Security Policy, and as previously mentioned, AI Risk and Control. More recently, as a member of the Executive Board of the Boston Global Forum (www.bostonglobalforum.org), he has advised the governments of Japan and Vietnam on national cyber-security strategy and has co-authored the cyber-security recommendations presented by the Government of Japan to the G7 Leaders at their May, 2016 G7 Summit in IseShima, Japan.
Allan is a graduate of Columbia University, where he received a BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, a Master of Architecture, and an MS in Operations Research. He is an active alumnus, where his roles have included Chair of the Alumni Board of Visitors of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the Treasurer of the Society of Columbia Graduates.
