Operationalizing Responsible AI & Regulatory Compliance for Finance
You have the AI models. Do you have the license to operate?
As Generative AI moves from sandbox to production, financial institutions face a critical challenge: proving to regulators (OSFI, NIST, EU AI Act) that their AI is safe, fair, and compliant.
Join the FINOS AI Governance community for a dual-track session: an exclusive preview of the new AIGF Leader Training curriculum, followed by a hands-on workshop to co-create the industry standard for AI Reference Architectures and Evaluation Frameworks.
Designed for risk, compliance, legal, model governance, technology, and operations practitioners, this hands-on workshop introduces the FINOS AI Governance Framework (AIGF) as a practical standard for identifying, assessing, and mitigating AI risks in financial services.
Through real-world use cases across model development, deployment, monitoring, and regulatory reporting, participants will learn how to use the AIGF to strengthen controls, improve auditability, and align AI programs with emerging supervisory expectations. Combining concise overviews with guided exercises, the session equips business and technical attendees to embed the AIGF into existing governance processes, control frameworks, and open source strategies.
