Last updated: 2026-05-19
What you'll learn
By the end of this course you'll be able to:
- Where BFSI AI value lives — four patterns + three filters at the investment committee
- Fraud and AML — three layers in order, the AML officer conversation, three governance items
- KYC and onboarding — the four-component stack, P95 time-to-decision, sovereignty postures
- Credit scoring and underwriting — three deployment patterns, plain-language explainability, bias monitoring
- Claims and operations — three plays, build pattern, the one number to defend
- Customer and advisor copilots — three patterns sequenced, the information/education/advice boundary
- Regulatory reporting and sovereignty — five regulator questions, three sovereignty postures, three relationship moves
- Your BFSI AI roadmap on one page — six sections, three conversations to unlock
Who this is for
Banking, NBFC, insurance, and asset-management executives, risk officers, and senior heads of function. Especially valuable for institutions operating across GCC, India, or Africa where multiple regulators (RBI, SAMA, ADGM, CBUAE, SDAIA) shape what is possible.
Curriculum
8 chapters · 2 hands-on exercises · capstone challenge
Each chapter ends with the learning objectives ticked off. Quizzes are auto-graded with feedback; exercises are open-ended and produce artifacts you can take to your team.
1. Where BFSI AI value lives
- Name the four BFSI AI patterns + the fifth to skip
- Run the three filters (explainability · audit trail · sovereignty) at the investment committee
2. Fraud detection and AML
- Buy the three layers in order — rules → statistical/ML → LLM reasoning
- Run the AML-officer conversation before vendor selection
3. KYC and onboarding
- Build the four-component stack: document AI, identity + liveness, screening, underwriter copilot
- Choose a sovereignty posture deliberately — sovereign cloud, hybrid, or on-premise
4. Credit scoring and underwriting
- Choose between the three deployment patterns; favour B in most jurisdictions
- Stand up plain-language explainability and outcome bias monitoring
5. Claims and operations AI
- Run the three operations plays: claims · trade finance · service copilots
- Defend one number per play at the board
6. Customer and advisor copilots
- Sequence the three patterns — RM copilot, wealth research, customer-facing chat
- Apply the information / education / advice boundary with compliance-written escalation script
7. Regulatory reporting and sovereignty
- Answer the five regulator questions in ten minutes
- Make three regulator-relationship moves in the next 90 days
Capstone: Capstone — Your BFSI AI roadmap on one page
- Collapse the course into a six-section operating roadmap
- Unlock three conversations: executive committee, chief risk officer, central bank supervisor
