Innovation in Compliance: AI Compliance at the Speed of Content with Kunal Vankadara

Innovation comes in many areas, and compliance professionals need to not only be ready for it but also 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 Fox visits Kunal Vankadara, CEO & Co-founder of Haast, to discuss how AI can help regulated organizations scale compliance as content volume explodes and regulatory scrutiny increases.

Vankadara believes AI-powered compliance automation is especially valuable in content review because many decisions are subjective and context-driven, such as judging whether a disclaimer is sufficiently prominent. In his view, LLMs can be trained on a company’s risk tolerance to apply those standards consistently at scale, reducing false positives and sending only gray-area issues to human experts. As AI-driven content creation and regulatory scrutiny continue to grow, he sees this approach as a way to make compliance faster, more reliable, and less of a bottleneck.

Key highlights:

AI-driven content surge overburdens compliance teams
Training Agents to Match Company Risk Tolerance
Teaching AI Risk Tolerance Beyond False Positives
Compliance agents as digital twins for content

Compliance and AI: Scaling Marketing Compliance with AI: Kunal Vankadara on Turning Compliance into a Strategic Partner

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. Today, Tom visits with Kunal Vankadara, CEO & Co-founder at Haast, about using AI to help regulated organizations scale compliance as content volume explodes and regulatory scrutiny increases.

Kunal, a former attorney and ex-BCG consultant, describes how manual marketing and public-content review once worked when content cycles were slower, but he is now overwhelmed by AI-driven content creation, channel proliferation, and personalization. He explains that many compliance decisions are subjective and tied to organizational risk tolerance, which Haast “teaches” to AI agents to provide first-line content review, reduce iterations, and route only gray-area items for human approval. The discussion covers managing “false positives” via risk-tolerance tuning, creating competitive advantage through speed-to-market and personalization, using an ROI calculator focused on business outcomes, and making regulatory changes more actionable across the business.
