Compliance is often viewed as a necessary burden, something designed to prevent mistakes rather than enable progress. Yet the ideas explored here challenge that assumption by reframing compliance as a potential catalyst for trust, speed, and intelligent growth.

In this episode of ATP, Martin Markiewicz, CEO at Silent Eight and Boon-Hiong Chan, Industry Applied Innovation Lead at Deutsche Bank discuss the increasing complexity of today’s regulatory landscape. Diverging rules across markets, strict data-localization requirements, and growing expectations for explainability demand a more thoughtful approach to automation.

Some of the topics that Martin and Boon-Hiong covered in detail included:

• High-velocity organizations treat compliance as part of product design and competitive strategy.
• Intelligent automation in compliance can flip unit economics, expanding total addressable market and funding growth.
• Treat compliance AI as an operational risk instrument you continuously tune against policy, appetite, and outcomes.
• Data localization is a constraint. Architect for local data, global signal: keep sensitive data in-place while exchanging derivatives of truth.
• Elevate talent from doing the work to governing the work, with tools that surface reasoning, variance, and drift.
