Bank AI Office

Purpose​

This document describes the use of AI Conveyor in the format of a centralized bank AI office: coordinating initiatives across business units, a single portfolio, and governance.

Key ideas​

  • The bank AI office acts as the owner of the methodology and the portfolio; business units (risk, operations, treasury, retail, etc.) are the owners of the initiatives.
  • A single registry and stage-gate process make it possible to balance resources and priorities across directions and to avoid duplication.
  • Bank-specific factors—regulation, requirements for model explainability and data—are taken into account in governance from the very beginning.

How it works​

The AI office implements the conveyor (stage gates, playbooks, registry), configures governance with regulatory requirements in mind, and manages the portfolio. Initiatives from risk, operations, treasury, and others go through a common conveyor; portfolio and impact reporting is consolidated at the bank level. Details by business unit are available in risk-department-ai, operations-ai, treasury-ai.
