About this session
Financial institutions are moving well beyond experimentation with AI, deploying it across credit decisioning, fraud detection, and everyday employee workflows at genuine scale. But how they get there differs sharply: some are building their own foundation models on proprietary data to avoid depending on external providers with their most sensitive information; others adopt commercial AI tools but wrap them in anonymization and strict governance before sensitive data reaches them; and some capital allocators are treating AI infrastructure itself — compute, data centres, foundation models — as a strategic asset worth direct ownership.
Regulation is catching up fast and unevenly, with major regimes now treating data location and third-party AI access as a risk to be supervised, not just a technology choice. Given the different AI strategies already in motion, what would it actually take to make them interoperable, auditable, and defensible across jurisdictions?
