Vanessa Chow is the founder of The Integrity Layer, a governance technology company and independent research lab exploring a simple but persistent question:
Are we doing what we say we’re doing?
Her work focuses on the gap between declared values and operational reality, a phenomenon she calls the Integrity Delta. As organizations increasingly deploy AI into decision-making processes, Vanessa argues that AI doesn’t solve governance problems—it scales them. The Integrity Layer develops frameworks and technologies that help organizations detect governance drift, strengthen accountability, and align AI systems with the commitments they claim to uphold.
