Crisis doesn’t knock on the door and wait to be let in; it makes its presence felt. As organisations reach a level of maturity in their operational resilience frameworks, it’s time to move beyond the policy and find out whether you’re truly resilient. In this session, we will explore the decisions, behaviours and instincts that determine whether an organisation can truly absorb, adapt and recover when it matters most.

Organisations need to be able to deploy new AI use cases responsibly, without AI governance slowing growth. In this session, we explore how AI itself can transform the way that AI is governed; accelerating risk assessment, control design and approval while maintaining appropriate challenge and oversight. Through a live demonstration, we will show what it could take to move a high-risk AI use case from idea to deployment rapidly, responsibly and with confidence.

As risk functions move beyond AI pilots, the gap between expectation and reality is where the real lessons live. This panel brings together practitioners who have applied AI on recent cases to share a candid, practical view of what has genuinely delivered value, where it has fallen short, and what should be done differently.
Drawing on recent work, the panel will explore:
- The measurable impact AI has delivered on recent engagements
- What's made the difference between the successes and failures of AI adoption on cases, from the data and governance to the ways of working behind the wins
- Where it's fallen short, the pitfalls to avoid and the new risks AI introduces, along with the guardrails that are needed
Practical takeaways for risk leaders weighing where AI can add genuine value.

What began as automation of repetitive tasks has rapidly evolved into AI acting as a senior quantitative analyst, capable of synthesizing complex data, providing portfolio insights, generating stress tests, and enabling forward-looking decision-making.
In this session, we will explore the evolution AI senior quantitative analyst, from early concept to scaled deployment, and how its underlying architecture, coupled with an expanding ecosystem of intelligent agents, is fundamentally transforming risk operations.

Generative AI is changing the financial crime landscape, creating new challenges for anti-financial crime teams. Its malicious use is increasing the scale and sophistication of fraud, while fraud-as-a-service platforms are making advanced capabilities more accessible and deepfakes are challenging biometric and document-based identity verification. Against this backdrop, AFC teams are exploring how to move beyond rules-based transaction monitoring towards more adaptive, AI-enabled detection. This panel discussion examines what it will take to translate AI into tangible impact in AFC while keeping pace with increasingly sophisticated methods of financial crime.

Why operational risk needs more caution with AI
AI makes unstructured thinking effortless, and operational risk has always leaned on narrative. Left unchecked, rigour could be the first casualty.
Why structured loss-generation mechanisms matter even more
Only with an explicit loss-generation mechanism to push against can AI collect evidence and challenge assumptions in a systematic, continuous and auditable way.
Should the industry move towards AI model validation?
For operational risk — and beyond — will model validation eventually be taken over by robots?

AI is moving from something operational risk functions oversee to something they increasingly embed in their own operations. As adoption accelerates across all lines of defense, institutions need a common operating model that connects business, risk and audit. The challenge is to enable AI at scale while keeping governance proportionate to the institution’s risk profile – supported by clear risk appetite, escalation paths and enterprise-wide AI literacy. At the same time, the rise of shadow AI is creating new challenges around security, accountability and oversight. This panel explores how ORM leaders can capture the opportunities of AI without losing control, traceability or board-level confidence.

Financial institutions are rapidly adopting AI to improve the productivity of their risk professionals. However, the more profound opportunity may lie beyond the copilot.
Agentic AI creates the possibility of redesigning entire risk processes, with intelligent agents gathering information, performing analysis, executing controls, monitoring outcomes, escalating exceptions and interacting with other agents and humans.
What happens when we move from using AI within today’s risk operating model to redesigning the entire operating model around AI? How autonomous should risk management become, and what should remain fundamentally human?

• To what extent, and how, can established MRM principles be applied to agentic AI and generative AI? Or are we quietly validating models nobody actually understands anymore?
• Your validation framework was built for models that sit still. Agentic AI doesn't.
• Periodic sign-off is a comfort blanket. By the time you review it, the model has already changed.
• The real question isn't whether MRM survives. It's whether your organization notices when it stops working.
• We're bringing insights straight from the source: ahead of RiskMinds, we're convening 15+ MRM leaders for a closed-door roundtable in London, and sharing what they really think on stage.
• EU AI Act enforcement won't wait for your governance model to catch up.
