Why GRC remains a strong career direction in the AI era

AI is changing how teams work, but it is also creating new governance, privacy, risk, compliance and accountability challenges. GRC professionals help organisations make defensible human decisions, define control expectations, assess risk and communicate responsibility—work where human judgement remains central.
