Negative News Monitoring: why AI is Crucial
Millions of news articles are published daily in official and unofficial sources; it can take just one to destabilize your organization. Therefore, negative news monitoring is crucial for companies to gain critical insights into counterparties, clients, vendors, suppliers, competitors, and prospects. However, businesses often struggle with monitoring the news and often engage teams of workers to analyze manually. This blog explains how and why you can benefit from negative news monitoring with AI.
The challenges
First, let’s dive into the challenges of manual negative news monitoring:
1. Manual negative news monitoring can be time-consuming.
Teams at banks, asset managers, private equity firms, pension funds, corporates, consultants, and payment service providers often employ a manual process where research teams and risk teams look for negative news through routine Google searches. Considering that you want to know what’s going on, not only when onboarding new clients but also on an ongoing basis, this process can be exceptionally exhausting and time-consuming, considering the vast amount of data out there.
2. Are you getting the whole picture?
The simple answer is: you don’t know. We are aware that manual processes are prone to missing critical pieces of information. Furthermore, most companies require combining internal and external data to create complete overviews, which can be complex.
3. It can be hard to distinguish signals from noise.
Of course, gathering information is just the first step – evaluating the data is equally critical. Organizations should be able to distinguish signals from noise. By doing so, you can prioritize your work by focusing only on events that might disrupt your business or supply chain.
