FinRegLab AI Symposium

2025 Symposium Updates Coming Soon

About The FinRegLab
AI Symposium

The financial services industry stands at an inflection point: AI advances are posed to rapidly transform the financial services landscape, creating both new risks and new opportunities to promote consumer well-being, financial inclusion, and financial stability.

Now is the time to forge a shared understanding and establish the foundation for responsible and inclusive deployment of AI, technology, and data advances in the financial system.

The FinRegLab AI Symposium presents an unparalleled opportunity for dialogue and collaboration at the intersection of financial services, technology, public policy, and social and economic impact. This is the venue through which thought leaders across these sectors can engage each other as we work to realize the benefits of AI while mitigating the uncertainties and risks.

Discussions will tackle major questions including how to shape the AI and financial services policy agenda for the new Congress and the next Administration. Key topics in 2024 included:

The broad impact of digitization and AI on the macroeconomy and financial system
AI models for personalized financial products, services, and advice
Leveraging AI in financial services to promote economic mobility and opportunity
Designing inclusive, reliable, and manageable AI systems that minimize harmful bias
AI’s challenges and opportunities for consumer protection and financial stability

Keynote CONVERSATION

Congressional Update from Senator Mike Rounds

What should Congress do about AI post election? As a prominent member of the Senate AI Working Group, Sen. Mike Rounds will share a unique perspective on what they’ve identified as the opportunities, risks, and appropriate policy approaches as we enter a new era of AI – including resisting the urge to overregulate new technology, implementing explainability and transparency requirements, and how financial services regulators have tools to enforce applicable law.

KEYNOTE

AI, Financial Services, and the Future Economy

As a new set of leaders prepares to come into government, this fireside chat will survey the opportunities taking shape across business, financial services, and for consumer well being. As we enter an era where AI becomes ubiquitous, we have a moment to decide how to design practices, products, and policies that can dramatically improve American’s well-being, increase economic opportunity, and reward innovation – laying the groundwork for a more inclusive economic system.
