Join BENS members and guests at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse-Houston on Thursday, May 1st, for a luncheon discussion on the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI), digital finance, and national security with Tina Schniebs of Ridgeline International, Inc. Mrs. Schniebs will discuss the transformative role of AI in enhancing financial services, such as improving transaction efficiency and fraud detection. She will also address the vulnerabilities these advancements introduce, including the potential for financial crimes, cybersecurity threats, and market manipulation.
Mrs. Schniebs’ discussion will focus on three main security concerns—and, very importantly, how we can mitigate the challenges posed by AI in terrorism financing and money laundering, the heightened risk of cyberattacks on financial systems, and the potential for market destabilization through manipulation.
Speaker Background
Tina Schniebs is a leader in financial risk management consulting, with a focus on the transformation of digital finance and the emergence of AI in the global financial marketplace. With over 20 years of experience in financial analysis and management, cybersecurity, and legal investigation, Mrs. Schniebs directs her consulting services and analysis to support specialized offices within the Intelligence Community, law enforcement, and Tier 1 Department of Defense elements.
