This session, led by Cargill’s Senior Director of Ethics, Compliance, and Security, Samantha McMacken, explores how AI and automation are transforming compliance into a more agile, efficient, and strategically influential function. Through practical examples related to case management, data analysis, and workflow optimization, participants will learn how Cargill has improved accuracy, streamlined operations, and unlocked new insights using enterprise tools like Microsoft Copilot/Power Platform and ChatGPT. This session will also provide participants an opportunity to share how they’ve been leveraging AI and automation and ask questions.
The tagline for AI is “work smarter, not harder.” Why shouldn’t this apply to your investigations process? AI can help with triaging reports, analyzing data and evidence, conducting root cause analysis, generating reports, and more. In this session, hear how panelists have leveraged AI in investigations at their organizations and how they protect against risks like bias, misinterpretations, and data privacy. Walk away with practical tips on how to use AI to improve and streamline your investigations process.
As the regulatory landscape grows more complex, the role of the Ethics and Compliance professional is shifting from manual oversight to strategic orchestration. At DocuSign, we’ve moved beyond the “hype cycle” to deploy emerging technologies that solve real-world friction.
In this working session, led by Hemma Lomax and Ashley Dubriwny, we’ll pull back the curtain on our journey integrating AI and digital assistants into the fabric of our global program. We’ll discuss how we are leveraging intelligent tech to:
- Humanize Global Comms: Tailoring engagement across borders without losing the personal touch.
- Predictive Regulatory Tracking: Moving from reactive reading to proactive monitoring.
- Dynamic Risk Assessment: Using data-driven insights to identify vulnerabilities before they manifest.
- Real-Time Navigation: Enabling employees with instant, “point-of-need” guidance to ensure compliance is a seamless part of their workflow.
Strengthen and invigorate your organization’s approach to ethical leadership with an interactive deep dive into lessons from game-based learning, ethical skill-building (beyond compliance), and AI. In this session, the team behind the award-winning game Quandary will demonstrate how research-backed game mechanics and AI chatbot learning tools can build durable “ethical muscle memory.” With a particular focus on the game’s recent innovations in AI ethics, Shelly London (former senior corporate executive, long-time NYU Stern adjunct professor, and Quandary founder) and Scot Osterweil (MIT Education Arcade, Learning Games Network) will lead a conversation on equipping employees with the skills to navigate high-stakes challenges that have no one “right” answer. Attendees will leave with a thoroughly research-backed framework for using serious play to drive employee engagement, mitigate risk, and foster ethical decision-making skills up and down the corporate ladder. Additionally, participants will gain exclusive early access to explore Quandary’s new ethics learning tools.
Compliance today is about insight, integration, and impact. In this session, Carnival Corporation shares how it built a modern, tech-enabled E&C function, including governance and reporting structures that support meaningful insight. Learn how the team leveraged analytics, low/no-code tools, middleware, and AI to generate actionable insights, reinvent core compliance processes, and enhance the value of the compliance function.
As Chief Compliance Officers, we have spent years defending technology investments based on a well-understood formula of efficiency and risk reduction. However, Artificial Intelligence has radically changed the variables. This session provides a roadmap, moving past the “Proof of Concept” phase, and addresses three investment scenarios: justifying the cost of AI, managing the hidden lifecycle costs of “DIY” internal tools, and defending domain-specific spend against the “just use Copilot” pushback.
We’ll discuss an AI Investment Framework to build a narrative that drives your business case through the review processes, including:
- Financial Viability: Quantifying risk mitigation and business protection over simple time savings.
- Operational Impact: Shifting the narrative from simple efficiency to effectiveness.
- Governance Architecture: Fit checks with governance models (e.g., AI usage policies, privacy, frameworks).

This session, led by Lilian Lustre, will highlight how Sanofi is using data and AI to modernize compliance oversight, with a special focus on our SAP Concur AI–driven expense monitoring solution. Through the Assurance Function Analytics (AFA) data lake, we integrate enterprise systems to detect risks at scale and enable real time insights. A flagship example is the automation of travel and expense approvals, where AI now reviews 70% of transactions, reducing payment time from 7 to 2 days and cutting auditor workload by nearly 70%, while significantly improving fraud detection and identifying recurring behavioral patterns. These advances illustrate how data science and responsible AI are reshaping assurance functions—making monitoring more efficient, targeted, and proactive, and reinforcing our global commitment to integrity.
This hands-on AI session is built for Ethics & Compliance leaders who want to see what AI can actually do today. Join Roxanne Petraeus (CEO, Ethena) for a guided walkthrough and live demos of several of the most common AI tools that will help you discover practical use cases for AI in training and comms.
From turning policies into podcasts to generating videos from prompts, automating translations, and customizing tone, Roxanne will show you what’s possible right now and help you create actual outputs you can bring back to your program. See how today’s best tools can modernize training, communications, and analytics, and where AI still falls short, so you can focus on what really works.
This 90-minute session is designed for hands-on participation, so bring your laptop and also your curiosity. You’ll leave with an AI-built artifact (a video, podcast, or course outline) and the confidence to take your first (or next) step with AI in compliance.
Key Takeaways:
- Try It Yourself: Use several common AI tools that power real compliance workflows
- Learn by Doing: Build actual outputs, no vendor red tape required
- Build vs. Buy: Learn when to DIY vs onboard a vendor
Walk away ready to build: Leave with real outputs and prompts you can use right away
