As AI spreads across trading, risk, compliance, and client interactions, financial institutions are grappling with how to bring governance and oversight in line with the pace of innovation.

In this episode, David Trier, Vice President of Product at ModelOp, joins host Jim Jockle to discuss how firms are extending long-standing model risk frameworks into the world of AI and agentic systems. Drawing on more than two decades in analytics and risk technology, he talks about where the industry really stands on AI governance today, how regulations are influencing practice, and what changes as models become more dynamic, data-driven, and autonomous.

The same tools fueling financial innovation are also being weaponized to exploit system vulnerabilities. From deepfakes to data breaches, regulators and institutions are racing to keep pace with a rapidly changing threat landscape.
