Regulation and governance in financial markets: are we ready for change?

Michael Borrelli

Financial markets are increasingly shaped by data-driven and automated decision systems.

This session explores how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence are influencing governance, regulation and risk management practices across financial services.

Using practical examples from trading, credit assessment and market operations, the discussion will consider what changes are needed to ensure transparency, accountability and regulatory alignment as these technologies become more embedded in financial markets.

Michael Borrelli is an experienced AI governance and regulatory specialist with extensive expertise in global AI regulations, laws, rules, standards, frameworks, codes, and frontier technologies, including FinTech and AI.

As Director of AI & Partners, he has led the structured, end-to-end deployment of AI solutions across regulated environments, providing strategic guidance on risk management, operational integration, and adherence to emerging AI laws.

Michael applies a methodical, step-by-step approach to designing and executing AI governance projects, developing compliance infrastructure, and creating product specifications for compliance software.

He has delivered practical advisory and training programs covering AI in the customer journey, AI banking, FinTech and digitalisation, digital transformation, AML, cybersecurity, and private-public partnerships.

His combination of regulatory knowledge, structured project execution, and hands-on AI implementation ensures organisations can deploy AI responsibly and effectively.
