AI ethics and governance in financial supervision: building trust and accountability
In an era where AI rapidly transforms financial supervision, ensuring ethical and accountable AI use has become paramount to safeguarding public trust and promoting transparency. This panel will bring together thought leaders from law, policy, technology, and regulatory bodies to examine the role of AI governance frameworks in financial oversight, focusing on how these frameworks can help build trust and drive accountability. Through discussion on regulatory best practices, legal frameworks, and practical approaches, the session aims to address both the challenges and solutions to ethical AI deployment in financial supervision.
The session will explore the ethical and data governance challenges posed by AI-powered systems in financial supervision. Attendees will hear about examples of regulations such as the EU AI Act, data governance considerations, and the role of ethical AI in building trust in AI-powered systems. The need for ethical frameworks will be explored, along with how to achieve transparency, accountability, and explainability of AI outputs.

Practical AI readiness for financial authorities
As reflected in the annual State of SupTech Reports, suptech is not a destination but an incremental journey from manual processes to increasingly tech-enabled, digitally transformed systems. As financial authorities begin this journey, many aspire to adopt more mature generations of suptech. To prepare for this, it is essential to assess organisational readiness across key areas so that financial authorities can create an operational environment that not only safeguards the integrity of the financial system but also encourages innovation and competition in an increasingly digital world.

Future-proofing supervision:
how AI is shaping supervisory skills and strategies
AI is transforming the financial sector and its supervision with deeper, proactive oversight and faster, data-driven decisions, strengthening financial resilience. Public officials now need skills that blend supervisory expertise with data science, machine learning, and digital ethics. Understanding AI’s limits and collaborating with technologists is essential to responsibly align AI with regulatory goals, especially in emerging market and developing economies. As supervisors embrace new technology, critical thinking skills, judgement and strong governance principles must remain at the core of their work.

Rethinking financial data: leveraging gender disaggregation for greater impact
Explore with us the transformative potential of supply-side gender-disaggregated data (SGDD) in building more inclusive and equitable financial systems. By periodically gathering SGDD through regulatory reporting, financial supervisors can uncover gender-specific trends that hinder progress in financial inclusion and consumer protection. Supported by reliable data, these insights enable stakeholders across the financial ecosystem to make strategic decisions that address identified market failures and risks while capitalizing on overlooked opportunities. Panelists will address challenges such as ensuring data accuracy and security, managing and consolidating large volumes of data, and effectively integrating data across institutions to create a comprehensive view of gender dynamics in finance. They will also discuss how technology—and suptech in particular—can act as a critical enabler in overcoming these challenges and realising the full potential of SGDD.

Interactive Workshop:
The Case for an Africa SupTech Accelerator
This interactive workshop is open to representatives from African financial authorities.
As you know, the supervisory technology market in Africa has been unable to provide the level of oversight needed to meet the booming fintech market because regulator-focused innovation is very nascent in Africa – despite growing regulator demand. The Gates Foundation has a concept for an accelerator that will spark growth in supply and demand to meet local needs, thereby infusing innovation in the fintech oversight ecosystem in Africa. The concept is in the early stages of development and we are interested in your input and opportunities for collaboration to ensure the accelerator meets your needs. In this session, we plan to discuss:
- What resonates with and what is missing from our argument?
- What use cases would appeal to you?
- How can this be a sustainable model?
- General questions/concerns/advice you have given your expertise/perspective.
