Episode notes

Shebani Baweja, Group Chief Data Officer at Standard Chartered, tells Bryan Lee, Group Head of Data at United Overseas Bank, that scaling AI across a bank is an enterprise challenge rather than a technology one. Baweja explains why data governance has shifted from a defensive compliance function into a source of competitive advantage, and names three enablers essential to scaling AI safely: data access, data quality and data risk management.
