Key AI Applications in Product Stewardship

Q: What are the key AI applications in Product Stewardship?

AI is being applied across product stewardship to enhance efficiency and provide deeper insights. Key applications include:

• Regulatory Monitoring: AI-powered horizon scanning greatly reduces the time needed for regulatory research by automatically monitoring global sources for changes relevant to a company’s specific products and markets.
• Expert Answers & Research: AI assistants can decipher complex technical and regulatory language, making connections between regulations and chemical data to deliver actionable insights in seconds. This accelerates research and decision-making.
• Supply Chain Data Collection: AI introduces a new level of accuracy to supply chain data management through plausibility checks on supplier questionnaire responses, flagging inconsistencies and improving data quality. AI also offers the ability to upload multiple document types to answer compliance questionnaires, removing friction for suppliers and improving response rates.
• Compliance Document Generation: From Safety Data Sheet (SDS) obtainment and indexing to the creation of complex documents like Digital Product Passports (DPP), AI can support compliance documentation generation.
