In episode #5, we discuss the role that good regulation can play in promoting the adoption of AI at scale. David shares his experiences in the transition from writing the finance industry’s first-ever regulatory guidelines on AI (at the Monetary Authority of Singapore, 2018) to actually putting them into practice.
We get David’s views on whether AI is living up to its promise in financial services, and the skill sets needed to do the same, and finish by peering into the future and getting his predictions on where AI can have the maximum impact in the next 3-5 years.
