Regulatory Change, Automated: From Signal to Control in Real Time

Somewhere right now a regulation is changing, and your program doesn't know it yet. Regulatory Intelligence is built to catch that moment, scanning global sources and horizon scanning for change before it becomes a blind spot. Regulatory Change Management takes it from there, turning that signal into an extracted obligation, a mapped control, and a documented trail from source to action. We'll show what it looks like when that gap closes end to end, and what it takes off your team's plate along the way.

Delivering Agile but Effective AI Governance

We are rapidly discovering emerging risks from new AI use cases. Regulators are in a race to respond, meaning we are likely to see new and amended regulatory expectations coming thick and fast. As we are discovering the true cost of AI use cases, the economics of tokens has to be taken into account, requiring financial governance of AI as well. Finally, of course, AI can help us in the challenge to discover, analyse, and address new risks and new regulations.

In this session we will examine what an agile approach to AI governance needs to look like to be effective in this new world of AI risk and compliance.
