GoKawiilAnecdotes CEO: GRC professionals must learn data and agent oversight skills as AI takes over compliance tasks
Yair Kuznitsov, co-founder and CEO of Anecdotes, argues that AI agents are increasingly handling GRC tasks like control testing, evidence collection, and framework mapping. He says the shift, which he terms 'GRC Agentification,' requires professionals to move from doing the work themselves to directing and governing AI agents, and identifies three skills needed for this transition: data literacy, agent governance, and communication.

The argument suggests that as AI automation spreads into compliance and risk functions, the career risk for GRC professionals may come less from job loss and more from failing to adapt skillsets to oversight roles. Kuznitsov's framing, as head of a GRC software vendor, implies that platforms with strong data foundations will be essential to this shift, a claim that also serves his company's commercial interest.
