Conference Day Two - Wednesday 15th April

3:00 PM Presentation/Case Study: Regulating Innovation: AI in Live Testing at the FCA

For many financial services firms, the biggest barrier to GenAI deployment isn’t capability - it’s compliance. In response, the Financial Conduct Authority has launched AI in Live Testing: a first-of-its-kind regulatory initiative that allows firms to trial real-world GenAI use cases with consumers, under supervision and with clear assurance mechanisms. In this session, Ed shares early insights from the programme, and how the FCA is enabling innovation with guardrails, helping firms move from POC to production with confidence, not caution.

• Enabling safe GenAI deployment through the FCA’s supervised ‘Live Testing’ environment

• Supporting firms in building scalable assurance and governance from the start

• Learning from live implementations: what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next
