Tech Collider 2: The AI Jobs Nobody Told You About Governance, Risk & Security in the Age of AI Agents
AI systems are already making decisions inside banks -approving loans, flagging transactions, drafting compliance reports. That raises a question most of us haven't had a straight answer to: who is responsible for these systems, and what does that mean for the jobs we're about to graduate into?
On 27 August, we're bringing together four people who deal with this question every day, from very different seats:
🎓 Prof. Jason Grant Allen - runs SMU's Centre for Digital Law and leads a national research grant on trustworthy AI
🏦 Richa Pant -a career banker who has seen firsthand how AI actually gets adopted (and blocked) inside financial institutions
🚀 Calvin Tan - co-founder of Pints.ai, who builds AI tools that banks in four countries rely on for compliance work
💼 Vincent Teyssier - deploys AI in wealth management at KairosWealth, and happens to be an investor in Calvin's company
This isn't a standard panel.
Calvin will pitch his product to Richa live - and she'll tell him what her compliance colleagues would really say. Every panellist will commit to a number on how many compliance jobs survive to 2030, and defend it. And each of them will answer, plainly: what would they hire a fresh SMU grad to do today, and what do most applicants get wrong?
If you're in SCIS, LKCSB, SOL or SOA and wondering where you fit in an AI-shaped job market, this evening is for you.
Come with questions — a good chunk of the night is reserved for them, and students go first.
