They cover governance needs including guardrails, policy-as-code, auditability of agent decisions, monitoring for model drift, and automating “trust but verify.” Arvin provides a telecom outage troubleshooting example with compliance notification obligations, addresses board-level AI governance using emerging standards like ISO 42001, suggests KPIs (accuracy, autonomy) and recalibrating operational metrics, and introduces “context graphs” to capture decision data over time.

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 Nav Thethi, creator of the “Cracking the Digital Maturity Code” series, to discuss leadership gaps in digital transformation, AI, and data governance. Nav describes building a peer-learning platform through his podcast, developing digital maturity benchmarks with organizational scorecards, and co-authoring a book on digital maturity. He outlines an AI readiness gap driven by executive imposter syndrome, FOMO-driven pressure, education and alignment gaps, and lack of roadmap, citing Gartner’s view that 89% of AI initiatives fail for reasons beyond technology, including “pilot purgatory.” Nav’s maturity approach emphasizes measuring the current state across multiple pillars, including technology, data, customer experience, leadership/strategy, and talent/culture; aligning with business outcomes; upskilling; refining; integrating with governance; tracking meaningful KPIs; and scaling responsibly. He stresses C-suite-led governance, leader engagement in change management, and maintaining customer trust through human oversight of AI-generated content.

  • Venezuela’s Energy Reopening with Loren Steffy

    Venezuela’s Energy Reopening with Loren Steffy
    2026/03/17
    Innovation comes in 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 Fox visits with energy journalist/publisher Loren Steffy to discuss whether a Trump administration announcement regarding Venezuela is meaningful for oil markets, concluding that it mainly increases uncertainty and is unlikely to drive major U.S. oil-company investment. They note West Texas shale generally needs about $60 oil to break even, making $50 oil politically and economically problematic. They explain that Venezuela’s heavy crude requires specialized extraction technology and extensive, aging infrastructure upgrades to reach the market, potentially costing billions and taking decades, with some estimates placing Venezuela’s break-even price at $80 or higher. They emphasize governance, corruption, degraded PDVSA human capital, contract enforceability, and unresolved debts (including reported $12B owed to ConocoPhillips) as key barriers, making Venezuela “uninvestible” for most majors and suggesting only high-risk players might consider entry amid unclear U.S. strategy. Key highlights: Venezuela Heavy Crude Basics Infrastructure Rebuild Challenge Human Capital and Governance Old Debts and Legal Risk Government Plan or Subsidies Resources: Loren Steffy on LinkedIn Stoney Creek Publishing Innovation in Compliance was recently ranked Number 4 in Risk Management by 1,000,000 Podcasts.

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 welcomes Evan Sampson, a noted health care compliance attorney. Sampson traces his path from commercial litigation to representing healthcare practices on HIPAA/privacy and reimbursement matters, then moving in-house at a network of plastic surgery centers, where he managed compliance focused on fraud, waste, and abuse, and on evolving out-of-network billing rules leading into the No Surprises Act. Sampson explains how compliance programs can create business value beyond risk mitigation by uncovering inefficiencies and opportunities, such as identifying downcoding in medical billing and using complaint investigations to spot growth areas. He describes how his litigation background helps him anticipate how issues will unfold over time in investigations and litigation, thereby improving his credibility with business leaders. They discuss building a culture of compliance in fast-growing healthcare organizations, tracking regulatory changes across primary and secondary sources, and leveraging AI and data analytics to detect claim outliers and strengthen compliance.

  • From Banking to AI: Tim Khamzin on Transforming Compliance

    From Banking to AI: Tim Khamzin on Transforming Compliance
    2026/02/24
    Innovation comes in 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 Fox welcomes Tim Khamzin, Founder & CEO of Vivox AI, to discuss building explainable, trusted AI agents for financial crime compliance teams. Tim describes his background in banking operations automation, including large-scale digital transformation and the development of compliance products, and explains how large language models since 2023–2024 enable the automation of unstructured compliance work without extensive model training. He outlines key challenges in AML/KYC operations—15% of bank headcount tied to compliance, heavy manual repetitive investigations across multiple systems, and cultural resistance to adopting technology. Tim emphasizes “explainability” through consistent, repeatable investigations with audit logs and screenshots that mirror human workflows, and “trust” through transparency, compliant vendor choices, and clear communication of limitations. Tim introduces Vivox compliance analyst, “Rachel,” a platform of collaborating agents that supports onboarding, customer due diligence, and false-positive reduction, improved via structured human feedback (thumbs up/down) to learn firm-specific standards. He explains how Vivox stays aligned with evolving regulations by engaging with bodies such as the UK FCA and tracking frameworks such as the EU AI Act and Singapore guidance, with a focus on auditability and explainability. Tim predicts most compliance work will shift to AI agents, with humans handling complex cases and a new role of “compliance engineer” emerging to configure and evaluate agents, alongside industry consolidation and operating-system-style vendor platforms. Key highlights: From Banking Automation to Founding Vivox AI: The Opportunity in LLMs What’s Broken Today: Manual Investigations, Backlogs, and Culture Gaps Explainable + Trusted AI: Audit Trails, Screenshots, and Transparency Regulators’ Top AI Concerns: Black Box, Bias, and 99% Accuracy Inside ‘Rachel’: The AI Compliance Analyst & Human-in-the-Loop Feedback The Future: Compliance Engineers, Agent “Operating Systems,” and Consolidation Resources: Tim Khamzin on LinkedIn Vivox AI Innovation in Compliance was recently honored as the Number 4 podcast in Risk Management by 1,000,000 Podcasts.
