Enterprise Risk Management: Applying Enterprise Risk Management To Environmental, Social And Governance-Related Risks

Introduction: The Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC or Commission) relies on a variety of applications to support its business functions related to the conduct of official proceedings. These include a custom-built legacy “BizApps” docketing system and Huddle, a third party service for eDiscovery. The PUC seeks to replace these systems with an integrated, cohesive, and efficient solution for internal and external stakeholders doing business with the Commission. By replacing the outdated and unsupported docketing system, PUC will be better equipped to serve stakeholders and the citizens of Oregon. The Dockets and Discovery project management plan defines how the Dockets and Discovery project is executed, monitored and controlled, and closed.

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is changing business and society in ways that would have been unimaginable only a few years ago. Its full potential has yet to be realized—the way we gather information, make products, interact with businesses, and access products and services are all evolving. In emerging markets, AI offers an opportunity to reach the underserved by lowering costs and barriers to entry for entrepreneurs and businesses, creating innovative business models, and leapfrogging traditional technologies. Private sector solutions lie at the heart of ending poverty and boosting shared prosperity, and AI is and will remain an integral part of that process. But much more can be done. This report explores the role of AI in emerging markets and developing countries—both across and within key sectors—both today and in the future. It also examines the issue of gender bias, and how Big Data can advance, rather than impede, equality. If managed well, AI solutions will expand opportunities and contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
