What is the role of Artificial Intelligence in compliance? What about Machine Learning? Are you using ChatGPT?

These are but three of the many questions we will explore in this exciting new podcast series, Compliance and AI.

Hosted by Tom Fox, the award-winning Voice of Compliance, in this podcast, Jonathan Armstrong joins me to discuss the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act.

This podcast takes a deep dive into the EU AI Act, its current state, and its implications for AI regulation and compliance within Europe and beyond. Armstrong begins by clarifying the misconception that AI is unregulated in Europe by detailing existing cases where regulators have leveraged GDPR to address AI-related issues, including suspensions and fines against AI companies. The EU AI Act, which reached political agreement in December 2023, has a risk-based approach, a two-year period until full implementation, and a potential impact on corporations, particularly in terms of compliance and competitive advantage.

Armstrong also considered the Act’s extraterritorial reach, enforcement challenges, and the potential for high fines, drawing parallels to GDPR enforcement patterns. We covered the complexities of AI application compliance, the importance of proactive preparation by corporations, and the need for increased board-level awareness and diversity to effectively manage AI-related risks and opportunities. The podcast concludes with a Q&A session that further explores the proactive versus reactive stances of EU clients towards the AI regulatory environment, the importance of board governance in AI oversight, and the challenges posed by ‘shadow AI’ within organizations.
