About this session
Even as AI becomes increasingly systemic in financial services, the development of autonomous agents and frontier models with unprecedented capabilities are posing new challenges to existing AI governance frameworks, which remain a work-in-progress across jurisdictions around the world.
As AI systems become more autonomous and deeply embedded in financial institutions and financial market infrastructures, the session will explore how authorities can ensure resilience, trust, and responsible adoption while managing emerging operational, governance, and cyber risks. The session will also focus on the safeguards, standards, and governance frameworks needed to support trustworthy AI deployment as well as the role of central banks and regulators in shaping the future of AI in the financial system.

About this session
As digital assets continue to expand across global markets, public and private sector stakeholders face growing complexities around operations, regulations, and scalability. Some advocate for a single global ledger, while others favour consistent standards to be applied across networks to enable seamless interoperability.
This roundtable will examine these perspectives and explore what it will take to build a scalable digital asset ecosystem on institutional-grade infrastructure. -
