When AI Gets It Wrong: Building with AI in High-Stakes, Regulated Industries
AI is probabilistic by design. Financial services aren't.
A model can perform brilliantly overall and still fail expensively at scale. In regulated environments, that isn't a bad user experience — it's financial loss, compliance breaches, customer harm.
So the question is no longer what can we automate? It's: how do you put probabilistic AI into a place where being wrong is expensive?
POV Talks is our format. Not a panel. Each speaker gets six minutes to make one case from where they actually sit — engineering, product, payments, legal, growth — grounded in what they're building right now. No company decks. No generic predictions. A clear point of view and something worth arguing about.
Then we put those perspectives against each other, and open it to the room.
Speaking
Bohdan Danyliuk — Director of Engineering, Regional Expansion, Wise
Wise holds more than 80 regulatory licences globally. How do you introduce probabilistic AI into a large, mature financial platform where decisions must remain explainable, auditable, and safe across markets? The real challenge is not only model guardrails, but engineering the systems, controls, and ownership that keep innovation accountable at scale.
Lesia Kupriienko — FinTech Lead, AppsFlyer
AI isn't only changing what happens inside financial products — it's changing how customers find them at all. What that does to acquisition, attribution, and the growth playbook.
Olya Korenyak — Vice President, Transformation, Global Tech, JPMorganChase
In high-stakes finance, the hardest part of AI isn’t the model — it’s the organisation around it. How do you give teams the freedom to experiment without creating invisible automation and duplicated systems? And how do you move beyond simply automating existing processes to reimagine what becomes possible with AI?
Moderating: Dmytro Strelchuk — ex-Revolut, Head of Expansion, UA Tech London Advisory Board. He'll push the discussion from "what can AI do?" to "where does it actually make sense to use it?"
