How Can the Financial Services Industry Trust AI?

AI and machine learning (ML) adoption in the financial services sector varies globally due to differing talent pools, operating models, and regulatory environments. While initially confined to specific functions like risk departments, AI is now being scaled across organizations through MLOps, which balances agility with compliance. The demand for machine learning engineers has grown, reflecting the shift toward operationalizing models to drive business value. Effective risk management in AI hinges on knowledgeable personnel and robust processes, with organizations increasingly embedding transparency and compliance into systems. Despite limited AI-specific regulation, anticipated legislative changes, such as the EU's proposed AI Act, are prompting companies to incorporate explainability into their AI strategies.
