Conducting thorough due diligence is critical in finance, mergers and acquisitions, private equity, and compliance. Traditional due diligence processes are often manual, time-consuming, and prone to oversight, leading to potential risks and inefficiencies.
AI can transform the due diligence by automating document analysis, risk assessment, and data extraction. Using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and large language models, AI can scan, interpret, and summarize key findings from vast datasets, ensuring a streamlined, accurate, and compliant process.
