Talking Risks

Episode 01 — Risky AI, with Kenneth A. Blanco

Here's a question for risk managers in financial services: What's your AI plan? And we don't mean, "Are you using AI?" but rather, "What's your plan for if it goes wrong?" Two little letters have dominated the conversation in the US banking sector, but are we having the right conversations? And how can we avoid finding out too late? In the first episode of Talking Risks, brought to you by MBK Search, de Risk Partners [https://www.linkedin.com/company/deriskpartners/], and Hadrius [https://www.linkedin.com/company/hadrius/], host Michael Oliver [https://www.linkedin.com/in/thisismjo/], Managing Partner de Risk Partners and former Global Head of Compliance Testing for Financial Crimes and Automation Ravi de Silva [https://www.linkedin.com/in/ravidesilvaiacompaml/] will speak with former Director of FinCEN and former CCO for the Financial Crimes Unit at Citibank Kenneth A. Blanco. Tune in to hear: 1) What questions do financial services firms need to have about AI but aren't? 2) Whether the issue with AI starts with understanding the tool itself. 3) How can your boardroom be battle-ready should it all go wrong?
