The operating environment through FY28 is marked by high risk, low trust, and persistent volatility. This instability stems from deregulation, geopolitical fragmentation, inflation, trade disruption, and shifting global power structures.
In this context, AI is no longer optional. It has become foundational for managing legal exposure, automating compliance, and sustaining operational control across uncertain regulatory landscapes.
We will begin with five operational areas where AI is already in use:
- Compliance Monitoring: Systems that detect and interpret regulatory change in real time across jurisdictions.
- Financial Controls: Fraud detection, AML, and transaction-level risk analytics designed for environments with degraded oversight.
- Data Governance: Classification and retention strategies for firms that postpone deletion under deregulation, exposing themselves to latent liability.
- Digital Asset Compliance: AI tools for managing legal gaps in crypto, DeFi, and hybrid financial systems.
- Regulatory Arbitrage: Real-time repositioning of data, processes, and operations in response to shifting legal constraints.
The second half will be a working session. We'll compare current-state practices, identify failure points, and gather input toward a shared guidance document for AI deployment in volatile environments.
All attendees will receive a comprehensive white paper on AI strategies for navigating regulatory and economic uncertainty. This resource will include key insights from the session and actionable frameworks for implementation.
This session is for professionals developing or executing AI strategies across GRC, risk, and legal functions under the assumption that instability will define the FY25–FY28 cycle.
