"As far as AI in banking is concerned, explainability and fairness will be must-haves in 2-3 years because bill C-27 and OSFI expectations are going to require them." Ahead of the RE•WORK - Toronto AI Summit, we asked Eric Lanoix, Vice President, Quantitative Risk at Coast Capital Savings his thoughts on the topic. Here's what he had to say: What do you think is the most important advancement for AI in Finance? What are some recent wins from an AI project you are working on? What challenges did you face during it?

At RE•WORK, we are strong advocates for supporting women working towards advancing technology, so ahead of the upcoming Toronto AI Summit, on November 9-10, we set out to highlight inspirational women who are working at the forefront of AI developments, and who deserve recognition for their achievements. While we set out to create a list of just 20 – we couldn't narrow it down, as there are so many inspiring and prominent females in this space! Hear from many of them at our Toronto AI Summit, and more at our Women in AI Reception, both being held in Toronto next month. Help us to continue highlighting leading women in AI by nominating your influential woman for our next edition. RE•WORK holds Women in AI events, podcasts, and blogs.
