Artificial intelligence is no longer a future-state issue for ethics and compliance teams. It is already reshaping how programs manage training, reporting, risk assessment, monitoring, measurement, and operational decision-making.

In this episode of The Ethicast, host Bill Coffin speaks with Roxanne Petraeus, Co-Founder and CEO of Ethena, and Dianne Ramos, Head of Ethics at Guardian Life Insurance, about how ethics and compliance leaders can move AI from experimentation into practical, responsible use.

Roxanne and Dianne recently led the “Prompt to Practice: A Hands-On Workshop for the AI-Curious CCO” breakout session at the 2026 Global Ethics Summit, and they bring a practical, field-tested perspective to one of the most urgent questions facing today’s chief ethics and compliance officers: how can E&C teams adopt AI quickly, responsibly, and in ways that actually improve program performance?

This conversation covers how to build AI fluency, create safe space for experimentation, engage leadership and key stakeholders, measure ROI, and lead teams through the cultural change that AI adoption requires.
