In this episode, Tom Fox takes a solo turn behind the mic to report on the AI tracks from the recently concluded Compliance Week 2026 conference.
He highlights two AI tracks: practical “creative” uses, including live demonstrations by Hemma Lomax creating PowerPoint content and Roxanne Petraeus creating video content, and the more critical compliance focus on AI governance, oversight, and accountability amid limited federal direction and a growing patchwork of state laws, with the EU AI Act positioned as a global benchmark. Tom emphasizes applying standard compliance risk management to AI (identify, manage, train, implement, monitor, improve), addressing shadow AI, internal/external/vendor risks, and building AI “in” rather than bolting it on. He notes scaling challenges, ROI questions, auditor expectations, risk registers, fraudsters’ use of AI, and ongoing discussions with Matt Kelly.
Key highlights:
• AI Everywhere at CW
• Creative AI Demos
• AI Risk Framework
• Shadow AI and Risks
• ROI and Use Cases
• Scaling and Oversight
• Governance Takeaways
