How AI is Reshaping Risk – Global Insights from Experimentation to Scale – WEBINAR

RMA Australia is pleased to bring you our second Webinar for May 2026 – “How AI is Reshaping Risk – Global Insights from Experimentation to Scale” hosted by Accenture.

AI is already changing how risk decisions are made – not in theory, but in practice. As organisations move from pilots to scaled adoption, risk functions are being reshaped by new forms of exposure, accountability, and trust.

Drawing on Accenture’s global client experience, this session cuts through the hype to share what’s really happening on the ground: what’s working, what’s not, and how leading risk teams need to evolve. We’ll look ahead to what this means for the future of risk – and how risk leaders can confidently steward experimentation and value at scale.
