Innovation in Compliance: Pamela Gupta on Closing the AI Governance Implementation Gap

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 innovators, thinkers, and creators on 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 an author. She and Tom discuss 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 across many stakeholders (security, privacy, legal, audit, business, IT, and data science), leading to either unmanaged risk or stalled innovation. She emphasizes AI-specific risks such as bias, transparency, explainability, and accountability, citing Humana’s nH Predict claims system (alleged bias; 90% reversals), 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.

Key highlights:

  • AI Governance Gap
  • Assessing AI Risk
  • Bias and Ethics Ownership
  • Humana Case Study
  • AI TIPS Framework
  • Governance as Accelerator

FCPA Compliance Report

FCPA Compliance Report: IIA President Anthony Pugliese on the IIA’s Expanding Role in AI, Cybersecurity, and Geopolitical Risk

In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes Anthony Pugliese, President and CEO of The Institute of Internal Auditors Inc.

We begin with the IIA’s global footprint, with boards in 122 countries; its role in setting internal audit standards; certifications, including the Certified Internal Auditor credential with about 225,000 holders; and education. Pugliese describes how internal audit is shifting from primarily financial controls to a broader focus on non-financial risks, including cybersecurity, AI and disruptive technologies, sustainability reporting, business resilience, and geopolitical risk. He emphasizes internal audit’s growing prospective/advisory role, particularly in assessing whether AI governance is keeping pace with rapid adoption and in communicating complex risks to boards and audit committees. Cybersecurity is cited as chief audit executives’ top concern and increasingly requires continuous monitoring. Pugliese notes members want more industry-specific guidance and expanded GRC resources relevant to compliance and directs listeners to iia.org and the free annual Risk in Focus report.

Key highlights:

  • What the IIA Does
  • Risk Landscape Shifts
  • From Assurance to Advisory
  • Geopolitical Risk in Practice
  • Cyber Threats and Continuous Auditing
  • Why Compliance Pros Should Join
