Navigating User Experience and Regulatory Challenges in AI Development

Today’s guest is Akhil Khunger, VP in Quantitative Analytics at Barclays. Akhil returns to the program to discuss the evolving role of customer-facing AI in financial services and how financial institutions are embedding safety and security measures directly into client-facing systems. He delves into the risks financial services face, such as prompt injection and model jailbreaking, and how firms are balancing user experience with necessary guardrails. Later, he and Emerj Managing Editor Matthew DeMello explore the challenges of building transparent, trustworthy, and resilient AI systems for the next generation of financial services, especially in light of growing regulatory expectations.
