Industry trends impacting 2026 and beyond for leaders in financial services overseeing use of AI

As financial institutions move from experimentation to enterprise-wide deployment, the AI agenda is becoming more complex and more consequential. We examine the key trends shaping how AI is being adopted, governed and scaled across financial services, from the rise of agentic systems and evolving regulatory expectations, to the growing pressure to demonstrate real commercial value. Drawing on GlobalData’s latest research, we explore how leading firms are prioritising investment, where momentum is building, and where risks are emerging. This session provides a clear view of what leaders need to focus on now to stay competitive, compliant and credible as AI matures.

Can your controls keep up with your AI?

Financial institutions across the Nordics are deploying AI into regulated functions at pace. Most are doing so on fragmented controls infrastructure — detection in one system, policy in another, archive somewhere else, investigations requiring manual reconstruction across all of them. The AI is advancing. The controls around it are not always keeping pace.

This session sets out what defensibility-grade integrated controls look like in practice: what it takes to maintain an end-to-end, auditable evidence trail from regulatory obligation to case outcome, where most institutions have integration gaps today, and what a practical modernisation path looks like. Drawing on patterns from more than 100 financial institution deployments, it gives compliance, AI, and risk leaders a concrete framework for assessing where their controls programme stands — and what to prioritise next.
