Financial Sector Artificial Intelligence Executive Oversight 

This session will help leaders understand the Financial Services AI Risk Management Framework, strengthen executive oversight, and turn AI governance expectations into practical, exam-ready action.

On April 1, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury released two new resources to guide AI use in the financial sector: an AI Lexicon and the Financial Services AI Risk Management Framework (FS AI RMF), co-authored with the Cyber Risk Institute. The framework operationalizes NIST's AI RMF for financial institutions of every size and complexity and is also designed to be used by third-party providers across the supply chain. For financial institutions, it is rapidly becoming the de facto language examiners and boards expect to hear when AI risk is on the table.

This balanced executive-and-practitioner session will walk leaders through the FS AI RMF in plain English. The first half will frame what executives and boards need to know, ask, and govern: the four adoption stages, the six dimensions of AI maturity, the AI Trustworthy Principles, and the questions regulators expect leadership to answer. The second half will move into practical, more detail oriented, implementation of how to use the Adoption Stage Questionnaire, how to navigate the 230-control Risk and Control Matrix, how to build evidence files that survive examination, and how to brief your board. Attendees will leave with an Executive Oversight Checklist and a Quick-Start one-pager designed to be used immediately and appropriate to be dropped directly into a board packet.
