Identifying hidden regulatory and reputational risk
PROJECTS
Workshop for the model validation division of a major French bank.
The focus of the workshop was to provide an overview of the current and upcoming AI regulations and how they pertain to their work.

The workshop was tailor-made to meet the specific needs of the model validation division, and the content was carefully crafted to ensure maximum engagement and knowledge retention. Our team of experts was able to provide valuable insights and guidance, helping the division to navigate the complex landscape of AI regulation and ethics, and ultimately, to make more informed decisions in their daily work.
