2 Gurus Talk Compliance

2 Gurus Talk Compliance – Episode 25 – The Never Go Away Edition

What happens when two top compliance commentators get together? They talk about compliance, of course. Join Tom Fox and Kristy Grant-Hart in 2 Gurus Talk Compliance as they discuss the latest compliance issues in this week’s episode! In this episode, Tom and Kristy tackle various compliance-related topics.

Tesla’s corporate governance is under the spotlight, focusing on the company’s board independence and potential conflicts of interest. Fox has pointed out Elon Musk’s profound control over Tesla, suggesting that the lack of board independence and oversight may necessitate regulatory scrutiny, especially from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). His perspective is rooted in his belief in the importance of corporate governance in protecting shareholder interests, and he raises questions about whether Musk’s leadership is aligned with the expectations of a public company CEO. Similarly, Kristy cites problems with board independence and potential conflicts of interest. She emphasizes the lack of governance within Tesla, particularly noting the court-nullified pay package granted to Musk, and suggests that the SEC may need to intervene even further. She, like Fox, implies that it may be time for Musk to step down and allow for better governance under the scrutiny of regulatory authorities.

Highlights Include

  1. Warren wants the SEC to look into Tesla Board independence. (WSJ)
  2. Goldman files a suit against Malaysia over 1MDB. (Bloomberg)
  3. Mike Lynch finally goes on trial. (FT)
  4. SEC settles first AI washing enforcement. (WSJ)
  5. Adani Green says there is no DOJ investigation notice. (Bloomberg)
  6. TikTok’s Fate Now Hinges on the Senate (WSJ)
  7. The EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive—March 2024 Update (JDSUPRA)
  8. Survey: CCO Resources, Pressures Both Rising (Radical Compliance)
  9. Data sharing causing concerns for drivers (WGRZ)
  10. ‘Not my fault the truck don’t surf’: Florida man arrested after driving car into the ocean (WFLA)

Compliance Into the Weeds

Compliance into The Weeds: AI Washing and Compliance

The award winning, Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance?

Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode, Tom and Matt take a deep dive into the recent SEC enforcement actions involving AI washing and what it all may mean for the compliance professional.

The evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought on a new paradigm of risk management in AI disclosures. This has caught the attention of regulatory bodies like the SEC, thereby necessitating a heightened focus on transparency and the implementation of comprehensive risk strategies.

Tom advocates for the integration of AI risk reporting into the overall risk management strategy, emphasizing the need for governance and the right risk control measures. His views are shaped by his understanding of the potential repercussions of misleading AI disclosures and the significance of transparency in warding off enforcement actions from regulatory bodies.

Matt echoes a similar sentiment, underscoring the importance of recognizing and managing AI risks. His perspective is influenced by the unique challenges that AI poses, calling for strategically tailored governance and risk management practices to navigate the complexities of AI technology.

Key Highlights:

  • AI Misrepresentation Enforcement by SEC
  • Transparency in AI Risk Reporting for Compliance
  • Integrating AI Risk into Overall Risk Management
  • Collaborative Roles for Effective AI Governance
  • A theory of unified risk management
  • What does all this mean for compliance and the compliance professional?
