March 11, 2024

Please join our team of Global Financial Regulatory experts as we discuss the latest legal and regulatory developments around the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by financial institutions across the world’s major financial centers. During this webcast, which we will host twice to cover all time zones, our market-leading team will provide their insights into:

  1. Regulatory issues and concerns in relation to the current and potential use cases of AI by financial institutions; and
  2. The attitudes of financial regulators across the US, United Kingdom, Europe, Hong Kong, Singapore and the Middle East to the rapidly evolving use of AI by the institutions they regulate.

In addition, the team will provide their predictions for the future of regulatory policy, supervision and enforcement in relation to the use of AI by financial institutions based on their extensive experience in these areas with the key global regulators.
