  • From Banking to AI: Tim Khamzin on Transforming Compliance

    From Banking to AI: Tim Khamzin on Transforming Compliance
    Feb 24 2026
    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.

  • Navigating AI: Governance, Risk with some Culture Thrown in with Matt Kunkel

    Navigating AI: Governance, Risk with some Culture Thrown in with Matt Kunkel
    Feb 17 2026
    Innovation spans 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 interviews Matt Kunkel, CEO and Co-Founder at LogicGate, about the company’s governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform and current market trends. Matt recounts his path into regulatory risk and compliance work that led to founding LogicGate and launching its Risk Cloud platform in 2015. A major focus is AI governance. Tom and Matt explore how and why senior management is asking compliance teams to provide governance frameworks despite the absence of a single standard (e.g., NIST/ISO/SOC). Matt explains organizations need scalable processes to triage and route large volumes of AI usage requests, apply guardrails based on data sensitivity and criticality, and avoid becoming a bottleneck to innovation. He emphasizes training and culture to address employee misuse, highlighting risks of exposing proprietary data and the need to define what information is acceptable to input into AI models. The discussion turns to LogicGate’s culture and how it has been sustained during rapid, organic growth (no acquisitions). Matt outlines LogicGate’s six values: Be as One, Embrace Your Curiosity, Empower Customers, Raise the Bar, Own It, and Do the Right Thing. For evaluating AI and modernizing compliance programs, he frames value in three outcomes: making money, reducing costs, or reducing risk, and describes LogicGate’s value realization framework that translates efficiency and ROI into business terms. He also describes Risk Cloud as an orchestration layer for compliance programs and anticipates more “intentional AI” and selective use of agentic capabilities rather than fully autonomous end-to-end program execution. Key highlights: From Consulting to GRC: Coding, Madoff Investigation, and Founding LogicGate Why AI Is Supercharging the “G” in GRC LogicGate’s Culture Playbook: Values That Scale with Hypergrowth How to Evaluate AI Tools in Compliance: Proving Value, ROI, and “Intentional AI” Cybersecurity in 2026: AI-Powered Social Engineering, Deepfakes, and Risk Mapping What’s Next for GRC by 2030: Agents, Responsible AI, and Tech as the Glue Resources: Matt Kunkel on LinkedIn LogicGate Innovation in Compliance was recently ranked Number 4 in Risk Management by 1,000,000 Podcasts.
