Registration and Continental Breakfast
Welcome Remarks
Federal Priorities at the Intersection of AI and Financial Services
Much has happened recently to position the United States as a global leader in AI and financial services, including the release of the Administration’s National AI Strategy, its landmark report on digital financial technology, and sustained private-sector investments in artificial intelligence and payments methods.
As 2025 draws to a close, what should we expect for the next year of policymaking from Congress and the regulatory agencies? How will these priorities shape our financial system? Join us for discussions about what happened and what’s ahead for AI and financial services policymaking and what priorities will guide Congress and the regulatory agencies.

We’ll hear from some of them in an engaging discussion about how.
