Innovation comes in many areas and compliance professionals need to not only be ready for it but embrace it. Join Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance as he visits with top innovative minds, thinkers and creators in the award-winning Innovation in Compliance podcast. In this episode, host Tom welcomes Pamela gupta, the author of De-Risking AI Adoption: The AI Trust Layer: An AI Governance Playbook.
Pamela Gupta, is the founder of Trusted AI and author. She and tom discuss the closing the AI governance implementation gap between high-level frameworks (e.g., NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001) and use-case execution under rapid AI rollout pressure. Gupta argues organizations struggle to translate principles into actionable, risk-based decisions involving many stakeholders (security, privacy, legal, audit, business, IT, data science), leading either to unmanaged risk or stalled innovation. She emphasizes AI-specific risks such as bias, transparency, explainability, and accountability, illustrating with Humana’s nH Predict claims system (alleged bias; 90% reversals) plus Amazon’s scrapped hiring model and Air Canada’s chatbot ruling. Gupta outlines her AI TIPS framework (eight pillars, ~80 controls) and contends AI governance can accelerate adoption by defining intake, evidence, and decision processes, even as agentic AI raises risk and uncertainty.
