AI for Compliance: Lessons from Teaching Cohorts
Shownotes
The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into compliance-related topics, literally going into the weeds to explore them more fully. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of Compliance into the Weeds, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly discuss Kelly’s collaboration with Ethena to run short, paid online AI classes for compliance professionals.
Since May, there has been an excellent AI training for compliance professionals, covering vibe coding, content/video generation, and data analytics with hands-on exercises using dummy or public data. Kelly says his biggest takeaway has been how much AI education is still needed and that many compliance teams are only scratching the surface, despite fears that “everyone else” is further along. They review common tools but emphasize that success depends more on the inputs and outputs, data readiness, clear use cases, and acting on results than on which model is chosen. They also address governance, security, privacy, maintenance, technical debt, costs and token budgets, and the need to involve compliance, which often leads to AI governance. The episode ends with reflections on Dolly Parton’s leadership and a story about her retaining rights to the hit song “I Will Always Love You.”
Key highlights:
- AI Class Overview
- AI Skills Gap Reality Check
- Good Enough to Start
- AI Angst and Cost Questions
