A women’s business group was presented with specific examples of how artificial intelligence is helping organisations uncover insights more quickly, monitor emerging trends and process information at a scale that would previously have been impossible.

100 Women in Finance Bermuda hosted a discussion on AI, regulation, and careers, exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping financial services, decision-making and the future of work. The event was sponsored by Carey Olsen.

The Bermuda group is a part of a global organisation pursuing a goal for women to occupy 30 per cent of senior investment and executive roles by 2040.

100 Women in Finance is a global non-profit membership organisation dedicated to strengthening the finance industry by empowering women to achieve their professional potential at every career stage.

With more than 30,000 registered members across more than 30 locations worldwide, the organisation connects professionals with resources, insights and a collaborative network that advances careers, increases visibility and promotes gender equity in finance and investment.

A panel of processionals discussed key issues in front of members and guests during a session at Carey Olsen’s office.

The gathering heard that while AI is accelerating productivity, there remains the continued importance of human expertise, judgment and oversight.

The panel was moderated by Charissa Ball, counsel, fintech and regulatory compliance, Carey Olsen Bermuda.

She was joined by Jinhwa Rustand, an AI investor; Priya Suagh, managing director, Niche Communications; Aqsa Zubair, deputy director, supervision, fintech department at the Bermuda Monetary Authority.

The group said later: “One of the strongest themes throughout the evening was that AI is no longer a future concept — it is already transforming how organisations analyse data, identify risks, enhance client experiences, and automate time-intensive processes.

“The panellists shared practical examples of how AI is helping organisations uncover insights more quickly, monitor emerging trends, and process information at a scale that would previously have been impossible.

“Yet, while AI is accelerating productivity, the conversation also highlighted the continued importance of human expertise, judgment, and oversight.”

The group agreed that technology was creating new opportunities for individuals from all backgrounds.

The event was the second of the year, during the relaunch of 100 Women in Finance in Bermuda, reinforcing the organisation’s commitment to education, peer engagement and professional advancement within the island’s financial community.
