The last few episodes we’ve been looking at AI implementation and risk management with leading industry experts who are helping to forge the path forward. In our final episode of the season (don’t worry, we’ll be back with season 2 in September!) Hanjo sits down with Carter Cousineau, VP of Responsible AI and Data at Thomson Reuters.

Carter has spent her career working with a range of companies and institutions to build responsible tech systems from the ground up. Working with Thomson Reuters, she heads a team focused on raising the bar for data governance and responsible AI. And at a time where issues like biases, fairness, trust, and security are central concerns, Carter and her team are transforming how we build AI systems across industries.

Carter shares her multi-layered strategies and structures for risk mitigation and why the best groundwork for innovation is good governance.

And yes, this is our final episode of season one, but we’ll be back in September for Season Two and more great conversations with industry heavyweights. Plus, look for a bonus episode at the end of July!

With AI shifting the world around us and the ground under our feet, Alyssa Lefaivre Škopac and her colleagues at the Responsible AI Institute are working with organizations to safely navigate this changing landscape.

The institute was founded in 2016, long before AI became such a hot topic, and before responsible AI became a pressing concern across industries. Today, the Institute is busier than ever helping member organizations understand and implement AI at a tactical level through system and organizational assessments, examining policy and governance, and building a certification program. It’s challenging, exciting, and important work where the promise of this technology needs to be tempered with careful ethics and risk assessments.

On this episode, we continue our exploration of AI implementation and risk management with the professionals on the front lines. Alyssa shares why, when it comes to responsible AI, there is no single way forward, and how the Institute customizes its approach for each of their members.

Kirsten Rulf is a leading expert in AI theory, ethics, policy and practice, and leads the Financial Institutions team for BCG X. Her tech policy career took root 10 years ago when she was a journalist living in China, and she became fascinated with the ubiquitous technology that was already so integrated into daily life in the country. From there, she launched a fascinating career exploring theoretical, ethical and political issues around technology that has taken her to Harvard’s Kennedy School, and then to advising German Chancellors Angela Merkel and Olaf Scholz on digital policy.

With GenAI being a front and centre issue for so many organizations, there's never been a better time to sit down with Kirsten to talk all things AI: the fears, the opportunities, and how everyone should be thinking about implementation. On this episode of BCG on Compliance, Kirsten takes us through the benefits, the risks, and how to think about tackling an AI framework for businesses of all sizes. We’ll also dig into all the big questions about bias, transparency and why she says the most unethical use of AI is not to use it at all.

In 2016, after Volkswagen's disastrous emissions scandal came to light, Hiltrud Werner took on the challenging role of Group Audit Director for the company and later as their Head of Integrity and Legal Affairs

This was no easy task. With the car manufacturer mired in legal and financial penalties, Hiltrud and her team needed to not only investigate the root causes of this ethical breakdown, but they also had the enormous job of rebuilding the culture of the company and restoring global trust in the brand.

Katharina Hefter, leads BCG Risk & Compliance in Central Europe, and worked closely with Hiltrud during the monitorship at Volkswagen. In this episode, Katharina joins us as guest host, and reflects with Hiltrud on that intense time, and how Volkswagen was able to reimagine and transform its culture. It’s a fascinating exploration of how to truly understand risk, reimagining compliance best practices, and how empowerment is the key to creating corporate transparency and trust.

In 2014, Andy McGuire joined HSBC as Group Chief Operating Officer at one of the most difficult times in the bank's history. Investigations had revealed that poor control processes had led to billions in illicit funds moving through the bank, funding drug cartels and terrorists.

Andy had a key role in engineering an extensive remediation process that took years and millions of dollars. But during that process, he and his team made huge leaps forward and the transformation contributed to significant compliance innovations that still have impacts a decade later.

On this episode of BCG on Compliance, Andy takes us through HSBC’s remediation process, from “draining the swamp” with meticulous but nuanced data readiness and KYC procedures, to the failures that necessitated this transformation in the first place. We will also cover the technological process innovations Andy and his team developed during the remediation, and Andy discusses how best to use AI and machine learning in these instances. It’s a fantastic behind-the-scenes look at one of the most prominent banking compliance stories in recent history, so don’t miss it.
