About the webinar

As AI adoption accelerates in financial services, the definition of a "model" has become a moving target—differing vastly between tech builders and regulators. What a data scientist considers a model may not meet the regulatory definition within a bank, where model governance frameworks extend beyond discrete LLMs to full AI stacks.

In this webinar, we explore how financial institutions are redefining AI models, expanding regulatory oversight, and adapting risk management frameworks to keep pace with technological advances. EJ Achtner, Group Head of AI at HSBC, will share insights from decades of experience in AI product development, banking, and regulation.

Join us to unpack the challenges of building AI in highly regulated industries, from evolving compliance expectations to risk thresholds, documentation burdens, and global regulatory complexity. Whether you're an AI builder, a product leader, or a model risk professional, this discussion will provide valuable frameworks for navigating the intersection of AI innovation and regulation.
