Great Women in Compliance: AI, Compliance & Thinking Outside the Box

AI is a key topic for all of us these days, and for ethics and compliance professionals, it is a challenge and an opportunity. In this episode, Lisa Fine and Hemma Lomax speak with Mara Senn, founder and CEO of Ethakos, and Audrey Harris, Managing Director at Affiliated Monitors; both have deep experience across investigations, enforcement, in-house compliance, and monitorships. We focus on what AI means for compliance – from how it is changing how companies operate to how it can help us work smarter while keeping humans in the AI loop.

They share insights from their experience on many topics, including:

  • Moving beyond AI as a time-saving tool and thinking bigger about how it can transform compliance.
  • Why compliance needs to understand the business, its systems, and its data.
  • The risks of staying safely inside the “compliance box.”
  • How better data and AI can help compliance see risk differently—and connect the dots.
  • Why tech and data skills are becoming essential for the next generation of compliance professionals.
  • Finding the balance between innovation and risk management.

This is a great discussion for novice AI users and experienced professionals alike.

Compliance and AI: Governance First: How Enterprises Deploy Agentic AI Safely with Nikunj Bajaj

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. In this episode, host Tom visits with Nikunj Bajaj, Co-founder & CEO at TrueFoundry, to discuss enterprise agentic AI infrastructure, governance, and hidden costs.

Nikunj Bajaj brings a practical enterprise lens to the rise of agentic AI, shaped by years of working at the intersection of model development and production infrastructure. He argues that enterprise AI is not just a technical challenge but also an organizational one, because federated teams adopting different tools can quickly create sprawl, inconsistent controls, and governance gaps. To address this, he advocates for a unified gateway layer that centralizes observability and control while still allowing teams to build with best-of-breed frameworks, paired with targeted safeguards like auditability, RBAC, guardrails, and the ability to inspect or revert agent actions. Bajaj also stresses that successful enterprise adoption requires disciplined cost management through FinOps, chargebacks, and budget guardrails so companies can move quickly toward ROI without letting agentic systems become a governance risk or a runaway expense.
