We sit down with Daren Firestone to break down the schemes increasingly drawing regulatory scrutiny, including “AI washing,” recent SEC settlements involved investment advisers that made false and misleading claims about their use of artificial intelligence, and the growing use of AI tools in cyber-enabled misconduct like hacking and ransomware. We explore how these developments are reshaping the SEC’s enforcement priorities, what companies need to know as AI becomes more deeply integrated into financial services, and what all of this means for potential whistleblowers navigating an evolving landscape.

In today’s episode, we sit down with Dave Jochnowitz and Rachel Rose to break down what AI actually is in clear, accessible terms, why governments and industry groups are racing to regulate it. We explore how AI is already being deployed in legal and compliance work, where it helps, where it falls short, and the professional responsibilities attorneys must navigate when using it.
