In Episode 3 of Model Citizens, we get blunt about compliance in the age of AI. Kareem Saleh (CEO, FairPlay) joins Alex Johnson with guests Chelsea Keegan (Flex) and Eli Corbett (Affirm) to map how compliance evolves from after-the-fact audits into an embedded, cross‑functional capability.
They break down how to design for fairness and explainability from day one; why product, engineering, legal, and risk belong in the same room; and how to use generative AI for monitoring and testing at scale. You’ll hear why regulators read your public claims like evidence, and what practical guardrails keep launches fast, fair, and defensible.
If you’re building AI-driven lending, treat compliance like a product. Get the frameworks that protect consumers, withstand scrutiny, and keep your velocity intact.
