Alex Leung discovers code in #Qwen model prioritizing Chinese laws

As what my cofounder Alex showed, every foundation model comes with its own operating guidelines. In additional to costs and model specializations, enterprises should take GenAI security and safety into considerations, benchmarking each model’s default behaviors and applying those that match best to local applications and nuances. #GenAISecurity #GenAIRedTeaming

Some open source models are not fully open source, at least the system prompts are not provided freely. This #SystemPrompt of your GenAI app model is critical, it is the skeleton of the thinking and response. When you are deploying your GenAI app, the responsibilities of #governance, #compliance, #monitoring and response of the app are important. It is recommended to put more effort on the AI testing of your product before launching it.

Introducing the "Whipsaw Effect" While markets cheered the US-China trade truce, compliance teams braced for impact. We're not just managing a de-escalation; we're navigating the "Compliance Whipsaw." This is the brutal cycle of implementing, unwinding, and preparing to re-implement complex regulations in response to volatile geopolitics. A temporary "truce" is often more operationally taxing than a permanent rule change. Why? Because it forces us to build and maintain both an off-ramp and a ready-to-deploy on-ramp, doubling the systemic load on already stretched teams. In my latest Substack article, I break down the operational reality of this truce and introduce a framework for building resilience in an era of perpetual uncertainty. It’s a survival guide for overwhelmed E&C, Legal, and Trade Compliance professionals.

Every financial decision involves trust, and that's why compliance matters. Studying Financial Compliance administration at Secenca Polytechnic has shown me how integrity, transparency, and risk awareness form the foundation of a strong financial system. Compliance isn't just about following rules; it's about protecting people, promoting ethical practices, and ensuring confidence in every transaction. Financial Compliance plays a vital role in helping organizations operate responsibly and build lasting trust with their clients and communities. #FinancialCompliance #Ethics #Transparency #SenecaPolytechnic #ProfessionalGrowth

Even major institutions aren’t immune to compliance failures — from governance gaps to cultural blind spots. Learn what went wrong in recent high-profile cases and how to build stronger, smarter compliance foundations: https://hubs.li/Q03MJwm_0

Financial crime strategies often look strong on paper — but can fracture in practice. Not because people aren’t working hard. Not because the technology isn’t there. Not because regulators don’t care. The real problem lies in the calibration gap: the subtle but critical drift between what’s intended at the strategic level and what actually happens on the ground. Firm are converging - bringing compliance, fraud, technology, operations, and commercial teams closer together. But convergence alone is not enough. Success depends on translation, the connective tissue that reconciles different perspectives, incentives, and pressures so strategy becomes coherent execution, not fragmented action. In our new Insights paper, Olivia Kearney explores: 🔹 Why small misalignments add up to the “thousand-cut fracture” 🔹 How incentives, language, and context quietly undermine delivery 🔹 Practical steps to treat translation as infrastructure: explicit trade-offs, checkpoints, cross-functional fluency, and constructive friction Because criminals don’t wait for your alignment meetings. They thrive in the seams you don’t even see. 📄 Read the full paper here: https://hubs.li/Q03Pq_3z0 #FinancialCrime #RiskManagement #Compliance #OperationalResilience #TranslationAsInfrastructure

When Global Listings Meet Local Ethics: the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in Protecting Investors and Employees >In today’s global economy, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission plays a role that goes far beyond financial oversight. It stands as a guardian of ethics, corporate governance, and investor trust. When international companies list on U.S. exchanges like the NYSE or Nasdaq , they commit to transparency, accountability, and respect for both financial and human standards. When those #standards are ignored, the harm extends beyond investors — affecting employees, partners, and consumers who become collateral victims of opaque decisions and unchecked power. >Why #internal #committees are not justice: Internal “ethics” or “compliance” committees are not justice. Often those opaque structures operate without oversight — used to silence, intimidate, or control rather than ensure fairness.True accountability requires due process, not internal verdicts delivered behind closed doors. The SEC’s role is to ensure that compliance strengthens transparency — not replaces it. >Investor risk is governance risk For investors, the consequences are direct. A company that ignores local labor laws, exerts financial pressure on employees, or conceals internal conflicts exposes itself to legal liability, reputational damage, market and valuation risk,potential sanctions for failing to disclose material governance issues. >The SEC as a global stabilizer The SEC acted in cases where foreign-based, U.S.-listed corporations engaged in misconduct that affected employees, partners or investors. Through its whistleblower and enforcement programs, it offers individuals anywhere in the world a safe and lawful channel to report wrongdoing affecting market integrity. This is an essential function in today interconnected world, where capital moves freely but ethical standards must remain constant. >The lesson #Transparency, #accountability, #respect for the rule of law are not optional values — they are the foundation of sustainable business. When any listed company forgets this, it is the role of the SEC — and of responsible citizens and professionals — to remind them that markets and ethics are inseparable. >Globalization cannot mean moral deregulation. Whether you are an investor, regulator, or employee, vigilance is a shared responsibility. The integrity of our markets depends on it. https://lnkd.in/eEfKsbqY https://lnkd.in/ewV_CAkr https://lnkd.in/eJW2c7Ew #CorporateGovernance #SECrules #CrossBorderCompliance #InvestorProtection #CorporateResponsibility #FinancialIntegrity #ForeignIssuers #GlobalRegulation #WorkplaceEthics

The pursuit of higher knowledge and transparency Narrative: Nachiketa's request for knowledge of the fire sacrifice and the afterlife demonstrates a desire for truth beyond the material realm. Corporate governance: The "higher knowledge" in a corporate context is transparent, honest, and ethical conduct. It means operating with integrity and providing full disclosure, rather than hiding behind complex financial structures. This builds trust, a fundamental element of good governance.
