Wolters Kluwer to discuss agentic AI in banking compliance at ABA conference
Wolters Kluwer will host a panel on agentic AI and banking compliance at the American Bankers Association's 2026 Risk and Compliance Conference on May 7, 2025, in Charlotte, North Carolina. The session runs from 7:30 to 8:15 a.m. ET.
Three compliance experts from Wolters Kluwer will present alongside Chance Wu, Vice President and Senior Corporate Responsibility Manager at KeyBank. The panelists are Zorina Alliata (AI Enablement Director), Elaine Duffus (Senior Specialized Consultant, Compliance Program Management), and Aoife May (Product Strategy Associate Director).
What the panel will cover
The session, titled "Agents in the machine - Agentic AI and the future of enterprise banking compliance," will focus on how financial institutions can move from experimenting with AI to deploying it in production environments.
Banks face a specific challenge: how to use AI agents and automation to strengthen compliance operations without introducing new risks. Agentic AI can automate complex compliance workflows at scale, but only with clear oversight and disciplined risk management.
Aoife May said the real work begins after initial experimentation. "The next phase of AI in banking is about augmenting compliance teams with systems that can operate intelligently and consistently," she said. "As banks move beyond experimentation with AI, the real challenge is how to deploy these technologies in a way that strengthens compliance, governance, and trust."
Practical focus for financial professionals
The panel will demonstrate how institutions move from planning to execution. Attendees will learn how to build compliance programs that use agentic AI effectively rather than treating it as a standalone technology.
Professionals working in AI for finance roles will find specific guidance on governance structures and oversight mechanisms needed to deploy these systems responsibly.
Conference attendees can access additional resources and schedule meetings with Wolters Kluwer compliance experts through the company's dedicated ABA event hub.
