As AR teams adopt AI to fast-track RFI submissions, over-reliance creates real risk. AI can hallucinate, misinterpret, or generate “slop” that experienced analysts detect immediately. Destrier expects vendors to introduce strict controls mandating a “human in the loop” as an essential requirement – not a nice-to-have – before signing off on any AI-completed analyst response. The proliferation of AI co-pilots also increases the importance of source and fact-checking, which now must include checking for both human and machine errors. AR teams should expect analyst firms to eventually prefill RFI responses using past submissions and public information, making consistency across all submitted content even more critical.
