Writing in the International AI in Financial Services Review 2025/26, published by Beaumont Capital Markets, of counsel Sameera Kimatrai and associate Aliya Padhani examine the growing role of AI in financial services and the pressing need for responsible governance.

In their article, “Deploying AI in Financial Institutions – Legal and Governance Best Practices,” they explore how AI is rapidly moving from experimentation to mainstream deployment in jurisdictions such as the United Arab Emirates, and why boards and senior leaders should take active responsibility for ensuring its use is ethical, transparent, and well-governed. They also highlight the importance of embedding human oversight and core principles from the outset to ensure AI is harnessed responsibly.
