Retrofitting AI Into Model Risk Management Is Key to Reg AI Adoption

As financial institutions accelerate their exploration of generative AI for transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and KYC, one question consistently surfaces: How do we adopt AI responsibly within existing model risk management frameworks?
