Abstract

Bing Chen

This paper investigates the crucial role of internal control (IC) in business management and explores how advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, such as Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI), and systems related to Universal Basic Income (UBI), can enhance IC mechanisms. IC is vital for ensuring operational efficiency, risk management, compliance, and governance effectiveness in enterprises. The COSO framework provides a structured approach to achieving these objectives through its five components. AI technologies, particularly machine learning, natural language processing, and robotic process automation, offer significant potential to automate routine tasks, provide enhanced decision support, and enable real-time monitoring and alerts in IC systems. Practical case studies demonstrate AI’s impact on improving inventory management, fraud detection, and employee performance evaluation. However, challenges such as data quality, skill shortages, and ethical issues must be addressed. The integration of AI with other technologies like blockchain and IoT, along with the development of global standards, will shape the future of IC. This paper calls for further research and implementation of AI in IC to drive operational excellence and sustainable growth.
