This section introduces key AI techniques and concepts, focusing on what is relevant for consulting in general with a slight focus on compliance and regulation."

A Curated Approach to AI Exploration #

As the volume and complexity of regulatory texts continue to grow, professionals are increasingly turning to AI and NLP (Natural Language Processing) to navigate this complex landscape. In this section we’ll explore the foundational AI concepts you need to know to master this domain, from transforming unstructured text into actionable data with Information Extraction (IE) and Named Entity Recognition (NER), to building comprehensive compliance frameworks using taxonomies and ontologies. These tools are the principal building blocks for a system that enables automated verification and intelligent reporting.

The field of AI is vast and constantly evolving, with a wealth of resources available—from academic papers and technical tutorials to open-source tools and community-driven projects. My aim here is not to replicate all of that but to provide a curated perspective and a clear entry point, so you can build a solid understanding and feel more confident engaging with these topics.
