AI Governance in Banking
[2575] Wednesday, Oct 23, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM PDT
As the adoption of AI in Banking picks up momentum with the
advancements in Generative AI, it is imperative that there exist
proper governance and risk management to ensure that there is
adequate oversight on all AI activities and that AI-related risks
are properly assessed and mitigated across the AI System Lifecycle.
These requirements become even more critical due to the development
and enforcement of various AI-related laws and regulations around
the world. Setting up a robust AI Governance program for oversight
and risk management requires a tight integration of the appropriate
people, processes, and tools within an organization. In this talk,
we will be going over some of the key considerations in
operationalizing AI Governance across the Enterprise.
