AI and Digital Transformation in Financial Services: Overview of Digital Regulatory Framework & (Data) Governance Impact
Digital transformation can be defined as the integration of new technologies into all areas of a company. This technological integration will ultimately imply a need to transform traditional business and (data) governance models. Similarly, artificial intelligence (AI) has been one of the most disruptive technologies of recent decades, with a high potential impact on business and people. AI is already rapidly influencing the financial sector with many potential benefits, such as enhancing financial services and improving regulatory compliance. As such, AI technology is used in sales and marketing, fraud and illegality prevention, credit evaluation and screening, chat-bot and etc.
In the EU, lawmakers have responded with a web of regulations aimed at ensuring ethical AI development and safeguarding data protection and improved governance, by developing eg. the Artificial Intelligence Act (the AI Act), the Artificial Intelligence Liability Directive (the AILD), the Digital Markets Act (the DMA), the Digital Operational Resilience ACT (The DORA) and the existing General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to name a few. However, these legal frameworks are not always fully aligned and may create some challenges and uncertainties for users, providers of AI systems, and data subjects whose personal data are processed through these systems.
The objectives of the course are :
- providing participants with a holistic introduction to the main foundations of EU digital regulation and some of the emerging technologies in practice (eg AI, Cloud etc.) in the financial services market, including the resulting required structural changes and impact on their organization , so that the course participants will understand better the «what», «why», «how» and «who» of what specific regulatory, compliance and operational issues they will be faced with in the near future;
- exploring the most important compliance and operational impacts on a financial services organization (data) governance structure, as well as focusing on the interplay between the different Digital Regulations themselves (eg EU AI Act, GDPR, Digital Market Act, Digital Services Act and Digital Operational Resilience Act etc.);
- enabling course participants to follow better and help them shape the debate around how to comply effectively with the upcoming digital regulatory overhaul, be it in their role in the financial sector as compliance officer, legal counsel , privacy officer, digital transformation officer or data (risk) governance professional.
