AI risk is moving faster than most organizations can write, let alone implement new policies.

By the time a “Responsible AI” policy is approved, Generative AI has shifted the goalposts and “Agentic AI” is already raising the stakes for compliance professionals.

In this episode our host Hanjo Seibert sits down with Reid Blackman, author of The Ethical Nightmare Challenge. This book unpacks a more innovative, scalable approach to AI governance: one that’s designed to be rapidly implementable, adaptable, and pilotable, without turning governance into a bottleneck.

You’ll also hear why his approach is meant to work across levels (i.e. project, department, enterprise), and why cross-functional collaboration is non-negotiable when AI touches everything.

We’re kicking off a brand new series of BCG on Compliance with our 2026 opener and we’re excited to bring you more stories from the ever-evolving world of compliance.
