AI in Financial Services
How AI is governed and deployed inside banks, insurers, and asset managers — model risk, fair lending, and the regulatory landscape that makes disciplined deployment non-negotiable.
AI is transforming financial services — underwriting, fraud detection, trading, and customer service. It is also one of the most heavily regulated places to deploy AI, where a biased lending model, an unexplainable decision, or an overstated AI claim can mean enforcement action and consumer harm.
This course teaches professionals at banks, insurers, asset managers, and fintechs how AI is deployed inside financial institutions — and the governance that keeps it compliant: model risk management (SR 11-7), fair-lending law, securities and insurance rules, and the EU/global picture. It is risk-first and current for 2026. This is education, not legal, compliance, or investment advice — verify specifics with your own qualified experts.
