Can you trust your bank’s AI?
A framework for AI governance
As AI reshapes the economy and financial services, leaders face a critical challenge: moving innovation forward while building confidence in the decisions it informs.
Join us to explore how banks are approaching AI governance today, what greater autonomy means for oversight and accountability, and what needs to be evidenced to build trust at machine speed.
We will introduce a practical governance framework, helping banks balance innovation with appropriate control.
Attendees will come away with a clearer understanding of:
- How AI governance needs to evolve as AI takes on more complex tasks
- What meaningful human oversight looks like in practice.
- What evidence banks need to trust AI
- What a practical framework for assessing system behavior, traceability, controls, and outcomes looks like
