PLENITUDE INSIGHTS: From Review to Reality - turning AI regulation into action in financial services

The Mills Review and the Financial Services AI Adoption Plan have set the regulatory direction for AI in UK financial services. Our Point of View sets out what they mean in practice - and what firms should do next. 

Two landmark publications have signalled where the market is heading on AI adoption, trust and the future of advice. But direction is not the same as delivery.

In From Review to Reality, we go beyond summarising the reports to focus on the harder question firms are now facing: how to move AI from proof-of-concept to production, responsibly and at scale.

Drawing on our work across regulation, risk and assurance, we translate the emerging policy landscape into practical actions firms can take today.

What's inside:

➡️Five strategic themes emerging across both publications
➡️The operational challenges firms still need to solve
➡️Six practical actions firms can take now
➡️Our perspective on building trusted, evidence-led AI at production scale
