      12:10 PM

      Governance, Risk Management & Compliance (GRC) for AI

      • Diagnosis: Speed is not the problem; unquestioned trust is. Opaque, hierarchical “digital feudalism” in APAC finance has produced fragile systems where cultural inertia masquerades as discipline.
      • Risk: Siloed guilds and loss of systems thinking hide AI risk; SaaS/API sprawl and privileged AI agents amplify fragility, a wake-up echoed by JPMorgan’s CISO.
      • Remedy: Recast compliance as an aircraft control tower that coordinates visibility and timing, adopt systems-oriented assurance, map integrations and AI agents, and ensure someone is watching the watchers.
      • Culture and alignment: Flatten governance, modernize guilds, shift from passive compliance to active assurance, and align with DORA-style resilience and third-party oversight to govern systems of action before they fail.
