SardineCon Charlotte - AI, Payments, and the Future of Financial Crime Operations
Join us for an evening of networking, food, drinks, and a panel discussion on AI, Payments & the Future of Financial Crime Operations.
Banking leaders, fintechs, and infrastructure providers will have an open, operator-level conversation about where AI is actually being deployed today, where it isn't, and what breaks when AI moves from analyst assistance into real-time payment and fraud decisioning. We'll dig into the operational and regulatory weight that comes with putting AI inside regulated financial decisions — and where platforms like Sardine fit as AI moves closer to real-time financial execution.
