        About this session

        How can financial institutions scale AI while maintaining trust, managing risk and establishing clear accountability?

        Drawing on more than a decade of AI deployment, JPMorganChase’s inaugural Insights2040 policy forum brings together regulators, policymakers and industry leaders to explore what responsible AI adoption looks like in practice.

        With a focus on Asia Pacific, the forum will examine how policy, regulation and industry collaboration can support innovation while addressing model risk, governance and oversight. Discussions will explore the move from experimentation to enterprise-wide deployment, including AI literacy, workforce readiness and the safeguards.

        Attendees will also receive a limited preview of the Agentic Assurance Initiative, a collaboration exploring a standard way to demonstrate an AI agent’s reliability. The forum will offer perspectives on scaling adoption, governing agentic AI and strengthening cooperation between the public and private sectors.

        Keynote: Driving Trust and Transformation: The Future of AI in Finance, Banking, and Beyond

        AI transformation now touches every corner of the firm. What began as an experiment to put AI tools in people’s hands has become a company-wide ecosystem. This scale has afforded the firm insights on what it takes to enable the collective success of enterprises, economies, and communities to benefit from AI adoption and diffusion. This keynote will share the firm’s perspective on the path forward, the unique role for the financial sector to shape AI policy and regulation, and a call to action for our shared AI future.

        Fireside: The Past, Present, and Future of AI Policy and Regulation

        This fireside chat brings together regulators to discuss the fast-evolving AI policy and supervisory agenda. Reflecting on key documents such as the Financial Stability Board Sound Practices for Responsible Adoption of Artificial Intelligence, speakers will reflect on the converging expectations around consistent and demonstrable governance – clear accountability, model risk management, data provenance, and ongoing monitoring – against the evolving technology, deployment, and risk management landscape. Speakers will also offer a systemic view on how to understand and remain updated on the opportunities and risks of AI, and respond with the appropriate adoption strategy and guardrails without constraining future innovation.
