Keynote: Transforming Financial Regulation with Open Source and AI - Michael Hsu, Advisor, Researcher, Former Acting Comptroller of the Currency & Jane Gavronsky, Chief Operating Officer, FINOS

Thursday June 25, 2026 16:40 - 16:55 BST

Churchill - Ground floor

Financial regulation today is analog, with every firm independently interpreting the same rules and rebuilding the same infrastructure, creating a hidden tax of duplication, inconsistent data, and systemic blind spots. This keynote argues that the full regulatory stack can be rebuilt as shared, executable software using FINOS projects like CDM, DRR, and Morphir — with AI accelerating the transformation and machine-readable regulation closing the final interpretation gap. The talk closes with three concrete pilots the community can start now: extending CDM/DRR to the FCA's streamlining work, establishing policy-as-code as the default for all new regulation, and retrofitting the highest-burden existing regimes into executable form.
