Description

As artificial intelligence (AI) transforms the financial sector—from credit underwriting and fraud detection to supervisory technology and operational risk management—the need for thoughtful, responsible oversight has never been greater. In this special fireside chat, Michael Hsu, former U.S. Acting Comptroller of the Currency and Don Graves, the 19th U.S. Commerce Deputy Secretary come together for a discussion on how AI can strengthen the safety, soundness, and fairness of the U.S. banking system.
 
Drawing on decades of regulatory leadership across administrations, these regulatory and governance experts will discuss the opportunities and challenges of integrating AI into banking, including model transparency, bias mitigation, governance expectations, and systemic risk considerations. They will share insights on how innovation can be encouraged while preserving strong safeguards for consumers and financial institutions.
