About this episode

Kristina Podnar and Brian Bauer discuss the evolution of agentic AI in compliance and its potential to drive revenue in regulated industries.

Kristina Podnar reconnects with Brian Bauer to explore what’s changed in just a few months as agentic AI moves from experimentation to execution in banking and other regulated industries. They unpack the “year of reckoning” for AI ROI, why compliance can accelerate innovation instead of blocking it, and how organizations can use AI to reduce costs, increase revenue, and compete at the speed of business—without sacrificing prudence.
