Build an AI-Powered Regulatory Compliance Risk Agent

Modern enterprises face complex legal and regulatory landscapes, particularly concerning data sovereignty and privacy. This challenge involves developing an autonomous agent designed to assess potential compliance risks for a multinational corporation, specifically focusing on data storage regulations, cross-border data transfer policies, and the implications of governmental legal orders on encrypted data. The agent will leverage advanced reasoning capabilities to interpret legal texts, identify potential vulnerabilities, and recommend mitigation strategies. The solution will utilize the OpenAI Agents SDK to orchestrate tool use, manage conversational state, and enable the agent to interact with a simulated legal database and a policy evaluation framework. The agent should be capable of understanding nuanced legal language and providing actionable insights for legal and compliance teams.
