Earlier this month, Kobalt Labs was proud to win the demo competition at the AI Native Banking and Fintech conference in Salt Lake City. We got a chance to show the product's functionality to a room full of banks, credit unions, fintechs, and even caught some kind words from Darryle Rude, Chief Examiner of the Utah Department of Financial Institutions. Our offering of adding consistency and AI-powered efficiency to third party risk and compliance is only valuable if regulators are ultimately familiar with our approach. Thanks to John Sun and the rest of the Spring Labs team for the invite, and congrats to Mobot for sharing the top spot with us! ?? And as always, Ashi A. and I had the pleasure running into old and new friends Emily Reisig Annie Delgado Jon Thurston Nana Affum, CRCM Howard Headlee Evette Raen, CRCM Jordan Wilde Marshall Greenwald Jeff Berkson Tyler Knotts, CAMS, CFCS, CRCM

"As banking becomes increasingly headless, banks will have to compete on things like data, analytics, forecasting, fraud and compliance -- not all are competencies at this time, so partnerships will be key."

It was a pleasure speaking on a panel about AI + Risk alongside Amber Gravius, Chief Data Officer of the NCUA. At the Large CU Summit last week in DC, we answered urgent questions from Credit Union leaders about how to safely adopt AI, and shifted the discussion from "should we" to "how can we do this safely". A few key takeaways that folks resonated with: 1. Start with the back office Many leaders shared concerns about deploying new automations in customer and member-facing workflows, given the obvious risk. What resonated with the audience was the idea to begin streamlining the most urgent back-office operations first, allowing leaders to explore the incredible ROI while getting comfortable with AI-assisted workflows. (check out Kobalt Labs) 2. AI enablement vs replacement We discussed the concept of using AI to give existing teams superpowers rather than seeing it as a tool to completely replace the very important and strategic humans in the loop. Technology should enable teams to do more thorough, high-quality, and efficient work and doesn't need to be seen as a threat. 3. Harm reduction AI-powered tools can make mistakes, just as purely manual processes frequently lead to human errors. It's about which option is more accurate, more resilient WHEN errors occur, and more likely to detect and remediate gaps. This is why all of our automated outputs come with a severity score. Thank you to America's Credit Unions, aka NAFCU (National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions) + CUNA Mutual Group for inviting me to share my thoughts in front of your members!
