61. Lorna Hajdini and Chirayu Rana, Investigation over Speculation
<p>On May 1st 2026 the "Internet blew up!". Cannons, Fish heads, the intoxicating mix of sex, money and power. A now retracted court filing latched on to by the Daily Mail drew attention to a complex people investigation conducted by the Investment Banking giant JP Morgan. Thousands of reels, memes, carousels, generated on social media as the case played out in the court of public opinion. </p><p>12 months previously in May 2025 an employee filed an internal complaint which according to "sources" alleged race and gender-based harassment and abuse of power, before trying to negotiate a payoff that ran into “millions” to leave the company.</p><p>Having conducted 16 significant regulatory, whistleblow and people investigations for peers of JP Morgan, Nic offers insights into how investigating this challenging conundrum may have been approached.</p><p>#investigations #finance #race #metoo</p><p>More about SKADI:</p><p>Website: <a href="www.skadilimited.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">www.skadilimited.com</a></p><p>X: <a href="https://x.com/skadilimited" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://x.com/skadilimited</a></p><p>Linkedin: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/skadi-limited" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.linkedin.com/company/skadi-limited</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/skadilimited/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/skadilimited/</a></p>

60. Embedded AI - the Iceberg Risk for Sales
<p>The Titanic was promoted as unsinkable, equipped with state-of-the-art safety features. But on April 15, 1912, it struck an iceberg, leading to one of the deadliest maritime disasters. This narrative serves as a powerful metaphor for the risks facing the sales industry today, particularly with the rise of AI and automated systems that, while designed to enhance efficiency, may introduce significant risks.</p><p>As we embed AI into Sales and Distribution efforts, are we inadvertently inviting in behaviours which have taken decades to root out? Building on the previous episode on the SKADI podcast, we ask whether there is now an increased risk of mis-selling, due to Sycophantic AI's propensity to select from which truths to serve up to the user. Indeed glossing over, or even suppressing risks and negative features. A classic recipe for mis-selling....</p><p>#AI #Sales #IFA #Investmentadvice #Risk #Audit #Investigations</p><p><br></p><p>More about SKADI:</p><p>Website: www.skadilimited.com</p><p>X: https://x.com/skadilimited</p><p>Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/skadi-limited</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skadilimited/</p>
