Panel: AI Governance Frameworks for Australian Financial Services

This panel examines practical AI governance frameworks designed specifically for Australian financial institutions to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements while enabling responsible and scalable AI deployment across operations.​

  • Establishing executive-level AI governance committees with direct board reporting, incorporating Australia's Eight AI Ethics Principles to oversee high-risk applications such as credit scoring and fraud detection.​
  • Implementing comprehensive AI inventories, bias testing protocols, and continuous model monitoring to meet regulatory standards and prevent biased outcomes in lending and customer segmentation.
  • Adopting centralised risk catalogues and RegTech solutions for agentic AI systems, providing robust audit trails and human oversight to facilitate compliance with both domestic regulations and international standards
