As financial institutions adapt to the first wave of DORA implementation and prepare for the EU AI Act, the sector faces unprecedented challenges in balancing innovation with stability. This intimate roundtable dinner, hosted by FStech and sponsored by Red Hat, will examine how AI is fundamentally reshaping operational resilience in financial services.

Attendees will explore the emerging paradigm where AI systems simultaneously strengthen and challenge operational resilience. The discussion will address critical questions about maintaining stability in an era where AI drives core banking functions, from real-time risk assessment to customer service delivery. Senior executives will share views on preventing AI dependencies from becoming vulnerabilities and leveraging the technology to enhance system resilience, while also considering ML/AI Ops from a model management and supervisory perspective.

This exclusive event offers financial leaders a forum to discuss pragmatic approaches to AI governance, explore strategies for continuous validation of AI systems, and share insights on building resilient AI infrastructures that satisfy intensifying regulatory requirements.

• Strategies for maintaining operational resilience in AI-dependent financial systems
