About this event

Artificial intelligence in financial services has moved beyond experimentation. What was once positioned as future-facing - smarter service layers, predictive dashboards, automated support - now sits much deeper within financial infrastructure, shaping fraud detection, authentication, underwriting and payment flows. This candid panel discussion will explore how machine learning is being deployed across the financial stack; from identity and trust to transactions, risk, and insurance. Not as hype, but as operational infrastructure. In partnership with Finance Isle of Man, this edition of Food for Thought brings together leaders working across fraud detection, digital security, payments infrastructure and AI-enabled insurance. The discussion will examine how AI is influencing trust, compliance and risk, and what this means for institutions operating at different layers of the financial system.
