Killer Quote: "Compliance isn't just about ticking a box anymore; it's about integrating with the business, using data to predict and prevent issues before they arise, and ensuring ethical conduct is woven into the fabric of your organization. In a world where AI tools can provide both incredible insights and glaring inaccuracies, it's our responsibility to verify, validate, and lead with integrity.” -- Tom Fox
