AI use in banking increasingly depends on where sensitive data is processed, who controls the model, and how outputs can be audited. This executive breakfast explores the trade-offs between frontier models, open models and confidential deployment, with a focus on data protection, banking secrecy, outsourcing risk and practical governance. +++ This event is part of the Zurich AI Festival, taking place from September 28 to October 3, 2026.
