As AI systems grow more powerful and increasingly agentic, the boundaries of risk are shifting. This panel explores how organisations can move beyond viewing AI purely as a source of risk to seeing it as a catalyst for reinvention within the risk function itself.
This panel of leading experts will discuss the evolution of AI risk, how governance can enable innovation, and the growing challenge of managing risks that originate from third parties and opaque foundation models. Looking ahead, they will consider whether AI risk management will emerge as its own discipline or become fully embedded in enterprise risk, and what that means for leaders seeking to harness AI responsibly and strategically.

The 2025 EY Global Risk Transformation Study identifies two archetypes: Risk strategists and risk traditionalists. Risk strategists are organisations that have embraced strategic and tech-enabled approaches to risk. The EY study shows only 32% of organisations globally qualify as risk strategists. The rest are held back by risk-averse cultures, siloed structures and an inability to quantify the ROI of advanced risk management - barriers that will inhibit agentic AI adoption. How do you build a risk strategist organisation in financial services?
