AI Risk and Compliance was enhanced and updated in the Australia release. ### What's new {#grc-ai-risk-and-compliance-rn-2026-08__grc-ai-risk-and-compliance-release-notes-new-features} [Continuous controls monitoring in the AI Risk and Compliance Workspace](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=airc-continuous-controls-monitoring&version=australia&pubname=australia-governance-risk-compliance&ft:locale=en-US) : Use Continuous Controls Monitoring to automate control verification and gather real-time visibility into control health. After upgrading to version 22.5.x, users with the AI Risk and Compliance Manager \[sn_grc_ai_gov.ai_risk_and_compliance_manager\] role can create a compliance evaluation configuration. Indicators that use metrics from ServiceNow or Traceloop, can run on a schedule and evaluate whether a control associated with the asset is compliant or non-compliant. When an indicator fails, a GRC issue is created so that the product owner of the affected asset can remediate it. Users with the AI Risk and Compliance Analyst \[sn_grc_ai_gov.ai_risk_and_compliance_analyst\] role can access the configurations but can't make changes. [Risk and compliance tasks for Asset owners in Activity center](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=aict-activity-center&version=australia&pubname=australia-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US) : After upgrading to version 22.5.x, if you have the AI Asset Owner \[sn_ai_asset_mgmt.ai_asset_owner\] role, you can access and act on risk and compliance life cycle tasks, such as impact assessments and control attestations, from the Activity Center in AI Control Tower. The Activity Center surfaces AI asset tasks, issues, policy exceptions, and AI cases for the asset owner. On the asset record page, all life cycle tasks specific to the assigned assets can be accessed and performed.
