Overview

This session is a boardroom-style roundtable that brings together regulators, industry leaders, and innovators from the Innovators Policy Network (IPN). Supported by Amazon Web Services (AWS), the dialogue focuses on how India can adopt “India-first,” risk-based, and embedded approaches to AI governance. The goal is to support financial innovation while ensuring safety and trust across credit, payments, fraud detection, and compliance.

Key Themes of Discussion

  • India-First Governance: Exploring regulatory models that suit India’s unique financial ecosystem rather than importing unsuitable global models.
  • Risk-Based AI Deployment: Identifying practical challenges and supervisory expectations for AI use in high-stakes financial services.
  • Embedded Oversight: Integrating governance directly into AI-driven systems to ensure security and accountability at scale.
  • Responsible Innovation: Building a shared understanding between fintech startups and regulators to facilitate future-ready financial systems.
