ABOUT EVENT:
AI Governance in FinTech and Banking: Where Regulators Are Already Watching
Financial services is the industry where AI governance failure has the shortest fuse. Regulators are already on the field, model risk management has been a discipline for over a decade, and the new wave of generative and agentic AI is colliding with frameworks that were written for a different kind of model.
We will have plenty of time for attendee participation during the AI Rundown followed by our expert panel.
What we'll explore
The unique posture of financial services — SR 11-7, SS1/23 in the UK, NYDFS Part 500, the OCC's heightened standards, and how generative AI is straining model risk management practices built for traditional ML
Where governance breaks down in banks and FinTechs — the gap between the model inventory in GRC and the LLM-powered features actually shipping in retail apps, fraud workflows, and customer service
Shadow AI in a regulated environment — when employees pasting customer data into ChatGPT becomes a Reg P, GLBA, or PCI issue, and what governed alternatives are working
Agentic AI and fiduciary duty — what changes when an AI agent can move money, open accounts, or take actions on behalf of a customer, and how leading institutions are drawing the line
The vendor and third-party AI problem — how core banking, lending, and payments platforms embedding AI features push governance responsibility onto buyers who can't see inside the model
The 2026 regulatory reality for financial services — 250+ state bills, EU AI Act full enforcement in August, NAIC AI Model Bulletin adoption by state insurance regulators, the CFPB on automated decisioning, and the federal executive order trying to preempt it all. What practitioners need to build now to be ready regardless of which regime prevails
Format:
3:00 PM — Doors open, networking
3:40 PM — Event Presentation Starts
4:40 PM — Closing remarks and community announcements
5:00 PM — Open networking wraps up
Who should attend:
CTOs, CIOs, Chief AI Officers, VP/Directors of Engineering, AI/ML leads, compliance and risk leaders, and practitioners building or governing AI systems in enterprise environments. If you're responsible for shipping AI that your organization can trust and defend — this is the room to be in.
