Talk Title: The Unexpected Risks of AI in Finance: What You’re Not Watching Could Cost You

Talk Abstract: Financial institutions are racing to integrate AI and open source—but are they missing hidden risks that could undermine security, compliance, and even performance? From software supply chain vulnerabilities to hardware-level threats that AI models depend on, the risks are more complex than they seem.

In this webinar, experts from Sonatype, FINOS, and NVIDIA will explore the unexpected risks lurking in AI-powered finance, including:

- Why AI-driven financial systems introduce security gaps you wouldn’t expect
- The critical role hardware plays in AI security and how it impacts risk
- How regulators are approaching AI risks—and what compliance teams need to know
- Proven strategies for securing AI, hardware and open source software in financial environments.
