This course introduces the fundamentals of artificial intelligence, its growing role across financial services, and the risks it introduces in a regulated workplace, including data privacy, confidentiality, bias, and third-party risk. The course covers practical guardrails for using AI responsibly, how to recognise AI-enabled fraud such as deepfakes and voice cloning, and the governance and accountability structures needed to manage AI risk. Designed for staff across banking, insurance, payments, and digital lending, the course reinforces one central principle: AI can assist, but human judgement, verification, and accountability remain essential.
