What is the intersection of AI and compliance? What about Machine Learning? Are you using ChatGPT? These questions are just three of the many we will explore in this cutting-edge podcast series, Compliance and AI, hosted by Tom Fox, the award-winning Voice of Compliance. Today, the Everything Compliance gang, led by Dr. Hemma Lomax, is considering how to navigate the challenges and opportunities of agentic AI in compliance.

In this episode, we explore the rapidly evolving landscape of Agentic AI and its implications for compliance professionals. Agentic AI, defined as AI that acts autonomously rather than just responding to prompts, presents both significant opportunities and challenges. The technology can optimize risk management and compliance workflows, but it also introduces complexities around accountability, transparency, and oversight. We discuss recent real-world examples of Agentic AI in use, such as in banks and tax agencies, and highlight potential risks, including autonomous collusion and AI agents making unethical decisions. The episode emphasizes the need for compliance teams to shift from monitoring human activities to overseeing intelligent systems, ensuring the establishment of proper guardrails. We also delve into new roles emerging in this landscape, such as AI ethics coaches and agent supervisors, and the importance of human intervention to verify AI decisions. Join the discussion to understand how to navigate this transformative technology responsibly and effectively.
