In this onsite interview from Vendor & Third Party Risk Europe, Alex Dorlandt examines the increasing complexity AI introduces to third-party risk management. He explains why organisations need greater visibility into supplier AI usage, from chatbots and large language models to embedded AI services, and highlights the risks associated with data privacy, accountability, and regulatory compliance when AI is deployed across supply chains.

Dorlandt also discusses practical approaches to strengthening AI governance, including supplier disclosure requirements, contract provisions, ongoing monitoring, and enhanced risk assessments. He explores how regulations such as the EU AI Act and DORA are influencing supplier oversight and argues that organisations must combine technical capabilities, risk expertise, and cultural change to effectively manage AI-related risks in the years ahead.
