The New Frontier: Human-Centric AI in the Future of Finance and Payments

The European Women Payments Network's annual conference, a full day at AI House on keeping AI in financial services human, inclusive and accountable. The programme runs from a keynote on human-centred design as a strategic requirement, through panels on leadership in the AI era, who the real customer is once autonomous agents start making payment decisions, designing for high-stakes life events, and separating AI-native products from AI-washed ones, to a closing session on data dignity and consent. Spotlight talks cover the EU AI Act and UK resilience research from Nadia Edwards-Dashti and Sam Emery. Lunch included, free to attend. Why go: payments people arguing about agent-initiated transactions and AI Act compliance a year before most firms have to. Best for fintech product, risk and compliance leads.
