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 CBDCs move from pilots to policy and stablecoins scale into real-world payment and settlement use cases, digital money is entering a phase of practical deployment. Yet regulatory and technical fragmentation continue to threaten the efficiencies that tokenization at scale promises to unlock.
The discussion will focus on where real adoption is already taking place today, what barriers are still preventing scale, and how central banks, financial institutions, and technology providers can unlock interoperability across CBDCs, stablecoins, and tokenized financial systems globally within current market conditions.
