"There are lots of conferences on AI at the moment, but City & Financial Global's AI Regulation Summit last week was fantastic. Some of my highlights:
- hearing from Kai Zenner about the current debates on the latest draft of the EU AI Act
- hearing from Reggie Babin about the US approach to tackling AI regulation
- hearing from the Digital Regulation Cooperation Forum, the ICO, the CMA and the FCA about the UK's "pro-innovation", principles-led AI regulatory collaboration."
- Fiona Phillips, Head of Legal - Digital, Information and Data, GGC Management Team, UBS AG

"Great to be here with City & Financial Global talking about data privacy and #AI.
There is so much opportunity in AI using data - put privacy by design at the heart of what you are doing and it'll help you meet your regulatory obligations, manage risk and, even better, you can reach better outcomes for your organisation and customers!"
- Sophie Sheldon, Partner, Simmons & Simmons
"It was enriching to engage with the participants and speakers at the City & Financial conference on AI regulation, today Oct 5th.
Talk about existential risk of AI was happily left for the coffee break, and we discussed the need for interdisciplinary approach to address the AI control challenge. You see me in the attached talking to our visualisation of these layers of control.
This collaboration across departments in the company will require that as a community we develop a shared understanding of the issue at hand, and a shared vocabulary to talk about it. This will take time (as it is a good old human activity... ). We better get going."

"Terrific day today. Not just in the here and now but unexpected recall of first hand experience of derivative regulation, market crashes and portfolio insurance in the 80’s, the 2008 crash, reviewing Defra’s horizon scanning and foresight programme in the mid noughties, even family autobiography around the scramble to do air nuclear testing before it would be banned in the late 1950’s (Grapple tests for the UK.) Marinading. But meanwhile very grateful to be here with such great speakers and conversations in the break. Thanks to all and to Tara Chittenden for gifting me her access and City & Financial Global for putting this on."

"I was at the AI Regulation Summit today, hosted in London by City & Financial Global.
The intersection of AI and the financial services space has been one of the hot-button issues of the past few years, and now all eyes are on the topic of AI regulation. Google has an extensive history of producing AI-aided applications like Maps and Translate and is sticking to its guns on the importance of the technology even when confronted by concerns that unchecked AI usage could spin out into something reminiscent of films like The Terminator."
- Eliot Raman Jones, Financial Reporter, Waters Technology

"Great to be chairing our session on global #ai regulation at City & Financial Global’s AI Regulation Summit, and huge thanks to Vivienne Artz OBE FCSI (Hon), Professor Robert Trager and Reggie Babin for the lively discussion and great insights. Our top takeaways: expect a push for (more) international #standards on AI, leveraging existing principles and standards that are already starting to converge, and which could plug into different national or supranational regulatory approaches. And (*spoiler alert*) the world may not yet be ready for a truly global AI regulator…"

"Great to attend and represent EY at the AI Regulation Summit that took place in London yesterday.
The summit was an exciting opportunity to meet with the industry peers, and discuss, learn and share about how best AI models should be regulated while building confidence, creating exponential value and augmenting human potential."
