AI under the microscope: Risk, reality and responsible use in investigative interviews

Join Wicklander-Zulawski CEO Dave Thompson as he hosts a live episode of the “Truth Be Told” podcast.

AI is rapidly entering the investigative toolbox — bringing both promise and risk. In this live “Truth Be Told” podcast recording, Thompson will be joined by Brandon May, PhD, a leading researcher in AI and interviewing science, to break down what today’s loss prevention and asset protection leaders need to know before adopting emerging tools. The two will explore where AI can genuinely enhance investigative work, its current scientific limitations, and the ethical, legal and reputational risks of misuse or overreliance. Attendees will gain practical guidance on bias, transparency, governance and the guardrails required for responsible implementation. Focused on clarity over hype, this conversation will equip decision‑makers with the right questions to ask as they evaluate AI’s role in sensitive, high‑stakes investigative environments.
