Upgrade U: Fintech Megatrends
Hosted by the Milken Institute
As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms financial services, North America faces a critical opportunity to shape how these technologies are developed, regulated, and deployed. This panel will bring together leaders from across the region to explore how the United States, Mexico, and Canada can develop a coordinated policy and regulatory approach that enables innovation while promoting transparency, safety, and financial inclusion.
The discussion will examine the opportunities AI presents for expanding access to financial services, strengthening the sector’s competitiveness, and improving financial outcomes, while addressing the challenges of algorithmic bias, data flows, and regulatory fragmentation. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in North America’s interconnected financial systems, the panel will consider how cross-border cooperation can help ensure that innovation strengthens a more inclusive, resilient, and competitive regional economy.
