Luncheon Discussion on the Intersection of AI, Digital Finance, and National Security

Join BENS members and guests at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse-Houston on Thursday, May 1st, for a luncheon discussion on the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI), digital finance, and national security with Tina Schniebs of Ridgeline International, Inc. Mrs. Schniebs will discuss the transformative role of AI in enhancing financial services, such as improving transaction efficiency and fraud detection. She will also address the vulnerabilities these advancements introduce, including the potential for financial crimes, cybersecurity threats, and market manipulation.

Mrs. Schniebs’ discussion will focus on three main security concerns—and, very importantly, how we can mitigate the challenges posed by AI in terrorism financing and money laundering, the heightened risk of cyberattacks on financial systems, and the potential for market destabilization through manipulation.
