The Center for Ethics in Financial Services Launches Responsible AI Program

The Responsible AI Program centers on a series of invite-only online roundtables that bring together leaders across financial services. These sessions emphasize peer-to-peer education, offering participants a space to share strategies, explore practical approaches to responsible AI development, and discuss implementation challenges. The goal is to equip financial leaders, particularly those in risk management functions such as privacy, compliance, ethics, legal, and enterprise risk, with the tools and insights necessary to make informed, responsible choices around AI deployment.

Leading this program is Jill Heinze, the Center’s new Responsible AI program director. Heinze is a digital product strategist and responsible AI advocate with two decades of experience conducting user and market research to create user-informed products and services. Over the past twelve years, she has worked with academic institutions and digital agencies to implement responsible digital technologies, most recently developing responsible AI evaluation frameworks and governance practices for Fortune 500 clients in high-risk industries. She is deeply committed to advancing responsible AI practices and supporting professionals in applying them to their everyday work.

Building on the foundation of work developed by the Center’s AI Ethics Strategy Fellow, Andrea Bonime-Blanc, Jill will lead the implementation as the Center continues to foster education and provide a resource for shared learning and guidance on strategies to develop and deploy AI responsibly, with trust at its core.
