Welcome to your weekly FINOS briefing. In this week’s update: move from theory to practice at our AI Governance Framework leader training in London, explore the essential requirements for trustworthy AI with our Executive Director Gabriele Columbro, and dive into the AI Governance, Risk & Security track at OSFF London.
🎫 FINOS AI Governance Framework (GF) Training Workshop
June 24 | London & Virtual
AI Governance is no longer a theoretical exercise - it’s the prerequisite for safe, compliant production. As regulators like the FCA and the EU AI Act set higher bars for transparency, financial institutions need a practical standard for identifying and mitigating AI risk. Our AIGF Leader Training on 24 June provides exactly that: a blueprint for moving AI programs from the lab to the audit-ready stack.
