Toronto: This panel discussion brings together a distinguished group of experts to examine how artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, governance, and risk landscapes. The conversation will feature insights from three unique vantage points: a seasoned industry consultant with over 20 years of experience in risk management, a senior representative from the regulatory community, and an AI leader at the forefront of innovation in a major financial institution.
Together, they will explore AI’s promise in driving operational efficiency, decision intelligence, and customer experience, while also confronting its inherent risks—ranging from algorithmic bias and systemic vulnerabilities to regulatory blind spots and ethical dilemmas. This multi-stakeholder dialogue aims to illuminate pathways for responsible deployment, sound governance, and collaborative innovation in the AI era.
Registration is required as seats are limited. Priority will be given to GARP Individual Members.
