As financial institutions increasingly rely on sophisticated algorithms to drive everything from credit scoring to algorithmic trading, the discipline of Model Risk Management (MRM) has never been more vital. The Marcus Evans Model Risk Management for Financial Institutions conference in London focuses on the unique challenges posed by the rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI (GenAI).
