Chatham House Rules
Room Peninsula East (Ground Floor)
Join us for an exclusive wellness session in Peninsula East. Rest, relax, recharge, and reset to absorb more in the upcoming sessions.
Model risk regulation is fragmenting globally, with divergent requirements across US, EU, UK, and APAC. How is this creating compliance complexity for global banks and what more should we be doing to improve transparency?
Models Navigate regulatory expectations for model interpretability, emerging XAI techniques, and balancing predictive power with transparency requirements for high-stakes decisions.
Validating vendor models, contractual protections, ongoing monitoring of external AI services, and managing concentration risk in AI providers

- Shresti Bijou - Head of Operational Risk, Natwest Group
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.
- Daniel Mikkelsen - Partner & Managing Director, Alix Partners
- Munib Ali - Partner, Alix Partners
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.

How are we optimising fraud model thresholds, managing adaptive fraud patterns, validating real-time fraud scoring, and balancing risk mitigation with friction reduction?
How are banks working through redevelopment and decommissioning, along with establishing rigorous change control processes and manage model version?
Critical failure modes in algorithm-dependent banking operations
- Why does AI in credit risk needs a credit brain
- Specialized AI vs. general-purpose LLMs for credit decisions: market direction, practical deployment learnings from 30+ banks, and what regulator-ready AI looks like in live credit risk deployments
- How governance, traceability and accountability are engineered into AI
AI model and client behavioural scoring architecture that operationalises the philosophy, and why every approved fraud payout becomes the training signal that drives continuous improvement
The presentation will cover:
After a productive day of learning and collaboration, take a moment to relax and mingle with fellow attendees. With panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, Clipper Bar offers the most breathtaking views of the Canary Wharf skyline and the River Thames.
