ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Agent of Record is a 12-episode limited series podcast that explores artificial intelligence in financial services.
In this episode, cohosts Kiah Haslett of Fintech Takes Banking and Parlay Finance CEO Alex McLeod welcome Michael Hsu, an advisor, researcher and the former acting Comptroller of the Currency.
Michael spent more than two decades as a financial regulator, holding senior roles at the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the International Monetary Fund before heading the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Since leaving, he has explored newsletter writing, advising in the financial regulation policy space and experimenting hands-on with AI tools.
In this conversation, Kiah, Alex, and Michael dig into what the industry is getting wrong about AI governance, and what it would take to get it right. The current framework isn’t working — AI can be software, a model and a third party vendor, all wrapped in one. Michael has been thinking about how this problem has been approach by other countries, or how similar problems have been addressed in the past.
