Abstract:
This article explores the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence in the financial services industry, and discusses emerging risks and regulatory challenges. It examines how financial institutions are leveraging predictive and generative AI to enhance operations, and highlights the tension between innovation and compliance, particularly with the patchwork of emerging state laws and guidance that seek to address algorithmic bias and data governance. Practical considerations for data management, model risk, and explainability are discussed to help institutions consider how to responsibly implement AI solutions. As the regulatory environment continues to shift, this article offers timely insights for industry participants seeking to balance innovation with regulatory compliance.Keywords: AI-Ready Compliance; AI Models; “Explanability”
