Does sci-fi predict the future of compliance or simply provide commentary on the current state of compliance? What is the role of corporate compliance around AI governance?
To answer these questions, I looked to one of the great TV Sci-Fi series, Star Trek: The Original Series, and an episode, “The Ultimate Computer.” In the episode, a computer with generative AI (GenAI) and machine learning capabilities goes awry due to insufficient governance. The story demonstrates why oversight, ethics, transparency, and continuous improvement should be a part of compliance oversight of AI.
