The Asian Bankers Association (ABA) is inviting members and friends to join a timely webinar on “AI Risk Management Framework for Banking,” to be held on 27 August 2026 at 14:00 Singapore Time.
The 60-minute session will feature two risk management experts from True North Partners: Dr. Wolfram Hedrich, Partner, and Vikas Deep Sharma, Partner.
Introduction
Generative AI and autonomous agents are being rapidly adopted across the banking sector. As AI agents take on greater autonomy, they are increasingly able to execute multi-step tasks, invoke tools and trigger real-world actions.
As AI adoption matures, financial institutions are moving beyond ad hoc assessments and an over-reliance on human-in-the-loop controls, which alone do not provide a scalable or sustainable basis for risk management.
Many financial institutions still lack a coherent framework to govern AI model behaviour, meet regulatory expectations and protect customers. Organisations must ensure that their internal and external custom GenAI use cases are effective, reliable and compliant. This requires continuous testing of AI systems for vulnerabilities and security risks, including prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage, harmful outputs and model drift.
This session will map the current regulatory landscape across key ABA member jurisdictions and present the TNP AI Risk Management Framework - a practical, regulator-aligned approach that integrates model risk controls, technical guardrails and governance structures into a single, operational agentic system.
Webinar Objectives
The webinar aims to provide participants with the opportunity to learn about and understand:
- A practical approach to identifying and managing AI risks for each use case through a centralised inventory and management mechanism
• How to operationalise and enforce AI risk policies and underlying controls using a regulator-aligned agentic AI risk framework
• A comprehensive library of AI controls and guardrails covering a broad range of banking use cases
• A real-world demonstration of guardrail implementation through a live coding example
Target Audience
This webinar will address issues particularly relevant to risk management officers, CTOs, directors, senior executives and C-level officers across financial institutions.
