Securing India's AI-powered Financial Future: A Shared Responsibility from Cloud to AI

10 September 2026

7:00 PM - 9:30 PM

Golconda – The Trident, BKC

Overview

AI is fast becoming an integral part of the modernisation of India's financial sector, powering everything from instant credit decisions to regulatory compliance. Yet every new capability introduces a corresponding threat; deepfakes that breach identity gates, synthetic fraud at machine speed, data leakage, and automated social engineering that no single-factor control can catch. This roundtable confronts that duality head-on, exploring how greater innovation brings greater risk, by charting the evolving threat landscape and stress-testing defences from AI-powered fraud detection to multi-layered verification. It further explores how the regulatory environment can foster risk-based frameworks, aligned with international standards, that protect without constraining the fintech growth India's economy demands.
