NLP: Reading Regulatory Language

Regulatory documents are notoriously complex. Natural Language Processing technology parses this language to extract obligations, deadlines, and requirements.

According to research published in Artificial Intelligence and Law, modern NLP achieves 90%+ accuracy in extracting regulatory obligations from text.

NLP capabilities include:

• Entity extraction: Identifying regulated entities and activities
• Obligation identification: Finding "must," "shall," and requirement language
• Timeline extraction: Capturing deadlines and effective dates
• Cross-reference resolution: Linking related provisions

"The AI reads a 200-page regulation in seconds and maps every obligation to our controls. What used to take weeks now takes hours."

— VP of Compliance, Insurance Company

Knowledge Graphs: Connecting the Dots

Knowledge graphs connect regulations, policies, controls, and evidence. When a regulation changes, the graph shows which policies, procedures, and controls are affected.

Step-by-Step Implementation

1. Audit your current workflow: Map where you spend time and identify bottlenecks.
2. Select the right tool: Match your biggest pain point to a tool's core strength.
3. Start small: Run a 2-week pilot on one project or task type.
4. Measure and compare: Compare pilot results to your pre-AI baseline.
5. Scale what works: Expand successful workflows to your full workload.

• ☐ Workflow bottlenecks identified and prioritized
• ☐ Tool selected and trial account created
• ☐ Pilot project and timeline defined
• ☐ Success metrics established
• ☐ Team onboarding plan in place
• ☐ Post-pilot review date scheduled
