Curated Dialogue

A focused exchange for senior leaders

Hosted by CFTE with participation from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, this session creates a direct dialogue between regulators, financial institutions, and AI leaders from the UK and Singapore. The discussion is designed to combine strategic perspective, practical implementation, and cross border collaboration.

Why This Matters

AI is already reshaping financial services

The central challenge for institutions today is not adoption alone. It is execution. Organisations are deciding where AI should be deployed, how it should be governed, and what capabilities are required to implement it effectively.

What institutions are navigating

  • Moving from isolated pilots to enterprise level deployment
  • Developing governance approaches that support trust and innovation
  • Building capability across leadership, operations, and delivery teams

Why Singapore matters in this discussion

  • Practical alignment across policy, institutions, and ecosystem development
  • Clear attention to implementation, not just intent
  • A useful reference point for other major financial centres
This session is designed to help participants understand how AI readiness is being built in practice, across regulation, institutions, and ecosystem collaboration.
