  • More attention should be paid to the sound quality

    Dear Michael, I really enjoy listing to your podcast and appreciate the content you are presenting. My joy is however is being reduced by the sound quality (e.g. the volume is too low even if the device is on max.). I would appreciate you could consider this feedback. Thanks for your work.

  • Content compensates for delivery

    The cases and contents mean toleration for numerous ums, errs and repetition. He could add at least another pithy point if he edited them out😊

  • Not sufficient analysis, poorly delivered

    Interesting topics but not sufficient analysis presented. It doesn’t appear thought through and lacks industry perspectives.

Episode 440-- Chris Focacci: AI, Due Diligence, and the Limits of Machine Judgment

Episode 435 -- Inside the Mind of the CCO: Aaron Nicodemus on Compliance Trends, AI Governance, and Reporting Lines
Q: What did the Inside the Mind of the CCO survey reveal about reporting lines and leadership influence?
The survey shows a shift over time from General Counsel reporting toward CEOs and board involvement, but there is a creeping return to GC reporting; the cadence suggests the importance of direct access to leadership to maintain independence and influence in decision-making.
Episode 435 -- Inside the Mind of the CCO: Aaron Nicodemus on Compliance Trends, AI Governance, and Reporting Lines
Q: How should organizations approach AI governance from a compliance perspective?
Compliance should lead governance, partnering with IT and cybersecurity, focusing on risk-based use cases, establishing guardrails, and ensuring data privacy and accuracy; it's not about understanding every technical detail—it's about enabling safe, effective use of AI in line with regulations and ethics.
