Episode notes
AI Risk Frameworks Multiply By Context
- Many domain-specific AI risk frameworks are emerging because impacts and probabilities differ by sector.
- A shared taxonomy improves mitigations and cross-organisation learning.
Concrete Controls For Financial AI
- For finance AI, identify concrete risks (e.g., data leakage, prompt injection) and apply specific controls like evaluation suites and result filters.
- Audit outputs and keep traceability to investigate and correct model behaviour.
Join Open Source Foundations
- Use open source foundations to collaborate on pre-competitive financial tooling under neutral governance.
- Share maintenance and improve quality by contributing back rather than forking internally.
