About this Event
Limited to 12 senior leaders from banks and financial institutions.
AI is rapidly moving into core financial processes such as credit decisions, AML, forecasting, and customer service.
For senior leaders, the challenge is no longer whether to adopt AI — but how to govern these systems so their decisions remain transparent, auditable, and defensible at board and regulatory level.
This private roundtable convenes leaders responsible for AI governance, risk, compliance, and operational oversight of AI systems within financial institutions to discuss how these challenges are being addressed in practice.
Boards expect confidence and control over AI-driven decisions.
Regulators expect evidence, not intent.
Accountability ultimately sits with named executives.
Many organisations already use AI.
But only leading financial institutions have governance frameworks that can clearly explain, audit, and defend AI-driven decisions – without slowing innovation.
So the real question becomes:
How do you deploy AI in core financial processes in a way you can confidently stand behind — commercially, operationally, and in front of regulators?
This private roundtable addresses that question through a practical exchange between peers.
“The roundtable helped me understand better how other financial institutions are dealing with the same problems we have.”
Rather than a general industry discussion, the focus is on how financial institutions are solving the practical barriers to deploying AI in regulated environments.
Participants will discuss real decisions and trade-offs institutions are currently making around:
– governance and accountability structures
– explainability and auditability of AI decisions
– AI use case selection and prioritisation
– adoption and change management barriers
– integrating AI into existing systems
The goal is not simply to address compliance requirements, but to understand how governance can become an operating advantage, increasing operational stability and trust in AI decisions while accelerating deployment.
Session format
The roundtable follows Chatham House Rule to allow open discussion of real governance challenges.
10 minutes
Short framing presentation on current AI governance issues and opportunities in financial institutions, based on recent Gartner research.
1 hour
Peer roundtable discussion focused on governance approaches, implementation barriers, and use case prioritisation. Participants will pressure-test their approach against peers facing similar regulatory and operational scrutiny.
15 minutes
Use-case-first presentation and demonstration of how AI governance can be implemented as audit-ready infrastructure in practice, using ARPIA as an example.
15 minutes
Reflection, questions, and closing discussion.
You will see how:
– AI decisions can be made fully explainable and auditable end to end
– governance and monitoring of AI systems can be implemented without excessive operational overhead
– AI use cases such as fraud detection, AML, or credit scoring can be deployed while maintaining regulatory defensibility
