Great Women in Compliance: Compliance Week 2026 Highlights with Nick Gallo

Team #GWIC and the #GWICfam were out in full force at the 2026 Compliance Week conference in Washington, DC.  Nick Gallo, a Great Gentleman in Compliance, was gracious enough (or agreed when he was “voluntold”) to be our roving reporter, asking people about their conference highlights, practical takeaways, and about AI in compliance, as that was one key event focus.

The episode also highlights the importance of collaboration, mentorship, and authentic connections in our community, and Compliance Week is such a great reminder of that. From discussions about everything from culture to analytics to celebrating Joe Murphy’s Lifetime Achievement Award, the conference reinforced both the rapid evolution of compliance and the generosity of the people working in it. You will hear the themes of friendships, learning, and shared purpose that continue to define the compliance community from our friends and colleagues.

The PFBCon Podcast: AI Audio Enhancement Without the Robotic Mess: Keep Your Podcast Warm, Clear, and Human with Audra Casino

The PFBCon episode focuses on how podcast audio quality is being compromised by overreliance on one-click AI enhancements and transcript-based editing, and on how to use these tools without losing warmth, emotion, and clarity.

Audra demonstrates how AI voice enhancement can create distorted, unnatural voices, clip or change words, and even misinterpret background noises as speech, stressing “garbage in, garbage out.” Foundational best practices are emphasized, including choosing a quiet room, adding acoustic treatment, managing reflections from floors, windows, walls, and corners, and using creative DIY solutions like blankets, rugs, reflection filters, and furnished spaces. Microphone technique tips are shared (sweet spot, distance, pop filters, hydration, test recordings). The transcript editing demo in Riverside shows how to delete/restore sections, tune pause removal, handle filler-word removal, fix jump cuts, and always do a final listen-through.

Key highlights:

  • AI Audio Gone Wrong
  • Why Enhancement Fails
  • AI Tool Shootout
  • Garbage In Garbage Out
  • Acoustic Treatment Basics
  • DIY Mobile Studio Hacks
  • Hybrid Studio Setup
  • Mic Technique Tips
  • Transcript Editing Rules
  • Riverside Editing Tour
  • AI Tools Pauses Fillers

Innovation in Compliance: Data Defensibility: The Compliance Foundation for AI Governance with George Tziahanas

Innovation occurs across many areas, and compliance professionals need not only to be ready for it but also to 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 visits with George Tziahanas, VP of Compliance and Associate General Counsel at Archive360.

Tom interviews George Tziahanas on why organizations must move beyond data storage to providing data integrity, lineage, and accountability as a foundation for AI readiness. George defines “data defensibility” as the ability to defend how AI systems were trained and operate when AI decisions are not easily explainable, such as in rules-based automation, emphasizing upstream data provenance, monitoring, and audit trails. They discuss increasing regulator and stakeholder focus on authority and accountability and how litigation can shape compliance, citing early e-discovery practices influenced by the Zubulake v. UBS Warburg decision and enforcement context involving former New York AG Elliot Spitzer. George uses the Mercor breach to show supply-chain and confidentiality risks in AI training data and notes that regulators and plaintiffs may rely on existing laws. He highlights risks from weak data governance, dark data, and legacy archives. He recommends asset/data inventories, migrating data off insecure legacy systems, risk-tiering AI use cases, extending ISO/NIST frameworks, and building observability to enable faster, responsible AI adoption.

Key highlights:

  • What Data Defensibility Means
  • Litigation Shapes Compliance
  • Weak Data Governance Risks
  • Managing Legacy Archive Data
  • Governance Accelerates AI
  • Dark Data Explained
  • What Success Looks Like

FCPA Compliance Report

FCPA Compliance Report: Report from Compliance Week 2026 on AI Sessions

In this episode, Tom Fox takes a solo turn behind the mic to report on the AI tracks from the recently concluded Compliance Week 2026 conference.

He highlights two AI tracks: practical “creative” uses, including live demonstrations by Hemma Lomax creating PowerPoint content and Roxanne Petraeus creating video content, and the more critical compliance focus on AI governance, oversight, and accountability amid limited federal direction and a growing patchwork of state laws, with the EU AI Act positioned as a global benchmark. Tom emphasizes applying standard compliance risk management to AI (identify, manage, train, implement, monitor, improve), addressing shadow AI, internal/external/vendor risks, and building AI “in” rather than bolting it on. He notes scaling challenges, ROI questions, auditor expectations, risk registers, fraudsters’ use of AI, and ongoing discussions with Matt Kelly.

Key highlights:

  • AI Everywhere at CW
  • Creative AI Demos
  • AI Risk Framework
  • Shadow AI and Risks
  • ROI and Use Cases
  • Scaling and Oversight
  • Governance Takeaways
