Jan 23, 2026
As AI-powered support becomes standard, regulators around the world are increasingly focused on consumer access, transparency, and accountability - especially access to human support when requested.
The Sirius Regulatory Readiness Assessment helps organizations evaluate preparedness without overreacting to evolving guidance. Here are ten areas it helps assess.
Whether customers can reliably reach a human agent
Access must be practical, not theoretical.How escalation from AI to humans is triggered
Clarity matters when automation is involved.Documentation of human-access policies
Policies must exist beyond informal practice.Coverage during peak and surge scenarios
Readiness is tested when volume spikes.Ownership and accountability when humans intervene
Responsibility must be clear.Technology support for human access
Systems should enable - not block - escalation.Monitoring and auditability
Organizations must be able to demonstrate compliance.Global consistency across regions
Regulatory expectations are converging globally.Operational flexibility as guidance evolves
Rigid models increase regulatory risk.Internal alignment between compliance and support teams
Readiness spans more than one function.
The assessment provides a practical baseline for navigating ambiguity and preparing thoughtfully for what’s next - without disrupting the efficiencies AI already delivers.
