Why AI Fails in Financial Services — and 3 Governance Changes To Overcome It

November 20th @ 12PM ET

Virtual

AI and data innovation are advancing faster than governance can adapt, creating a growing gap between risk, compliance, and business strategy. As new AI regulations emerge globally and privacy frameworks evolve to meet them, organizations are realizing that compliance can’t live in silos. Without a unified governance framework, even well-intentioned data programs become fragmented, reactive, and vulnerable. And the pressure is higher for organizations in complex regulatory environments such as Financial Services, Insurance, Life Sciences, and Government who will need a centralized approach to AI Governance.Join James Howard, former Chief Privacy Officer at Wells Fargo and Nimit Mehta, CEO of TopQuadrant, for a candid fireside chat on how governance can evolve to meet this moment. They’ll explore how data and AI governance offers a framework for AI oversight, why intentional “governance by design” must become standard practice, and how organizations can prepare for rapidly changing regulatory expectations.

Virtual

Enterprises sit on a gold mine of unstructured content — documents, PDFs, presentations — often trapped in silos and built for humans, not machines. Most AI projects fail to scale because this data isn't AI ready.Join Steve Hedden, Product Manager at TopQuadrant, to discover how knowledge graphs transform unstructured content into structured, governed intelligence that powers smarter, safer, and scalable AI. You'll learn how to:Improve AI accuracy and relevance by connecting content with semantic layers and metadata. Apply governance and guardrails to ensure AI outputs are trustworthy and compliant. Enable scalable AI workflows across the enterprise without building siloed pipelines. Apply RAG against knowledge graphs to enable real-world applications in search and personalizationPlus, get the opportunity to ask Steve anything, digging into practical strategies, lessons from customer implementations, and the best ways to unlock the full potential of your enterprise data.

Virtual

Explore how knowledge graphs power modern AI. Knowledge graphs are not monolithic; many varieties exist, such as Knowledge Graph Embeddings (KGE), Domain Knowledge Graphs (DKG), and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Even with RAG, there are variations. These different approaches enhance knowledge discovery, contextual understanding, and AI-driven applications. Learn about how to improve search, reasoning, and generative AI performance throughout the enterprise using knowledge graphs.In this webinar, you will: - See how knowledge graphs improve AI accuracy, relevance, and depth - Learn the essential life cycle requirements for managing knowledge graph ecosystems effectively - Understand how building a metadata layer across unstructured data enables AI

Virtual

Join Jessica Talisman, Holger Knublauch, Boris Pelakh, Pete Rivett, and Mike Pool for a panel discussion on the evolving roles of OWL and SHACL in semantic modeling. Explore how these two approaches—once seen as competing—can complement each other in building knowledge-based systems and ontologies. Hear insights from leading experts, including the co-creator of the SHACL W3C standard, and get guidance on choosing and combining these standards for your projects. Gain practical clarity to navigate the future of semantic technology.

In AI, Content is King. But Finding it and Leveraging it is the Real Challenge

Virtual

Your content—including videos, images, documents, and spreadsheets—holds the answers that your teams and AI need in order to learn and drive better customer experiences. However, extracting this knowledge and finding the right content, especially across systems like SharePoint, AEM, Collibra, or Databricks, can be nearly impossible. Content is tagged manually and inconsistently from system to system, leading to wasted time, poor discoverability, and ultimately bad customer experiences.Discover how automated tagging, controlled vocabularies, and knowledge graphs can help you turn your content into a strategic enterprise-wide initiative, ensuring visibility, consistency, and governance across your entire content ecosystem.
