About this session
While AI is creating new opportunities across financial services, its effectiveness ultimately depends on access to high-quality and trusted data. Building on emerging open data sharing initiatives across the financial sector, this roundtable will explore how financial institutions can collaborate to unlock greater value from data while preserving privacy, security, and trust. Bringing together industry leaders, technology providers, AI practitioners, and policymakers, the discussion will examine practical approaches to data sharing, privacy-enhancing technologies, common data standards, and trusted data ecosystems that can accelerate AI innovation, enable the development of more capable and reliable financial AI models, strengthen risk management, and support the next generation of AI-enabled financial services.
