4:20 – 4:50 p.m.	Data Optionality in the Cloud Sourcing, sharing and managing external financial data sets is a complicated, time consuming and costly effort for financial institutions (FIs). As FIs migrate more and more workloads to the cloud, these challenges are brought to the forefront.

And while we had good discussions on how this could automate complex processes, generate insights and enable better decision making, we came up short on actual uses cases For this meeting we are excited to have an AI guest expert who will discuss specific and practical applications of Gen AI. Dimitrios has first-hand global experience of use cases across the entire loan lifecycle process, from business identification, risk assessment, and portfolio monitoring to regulatory reporting and disclosures.
