100WF Conversation On AI, Regulation & More
100 Women in Finance Bermuda recently hosted an engaging discussion on AI, Regulation, and Careers, exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping financial services, decision-making, and the future of work, sponsored by Carey Olsen.
A spokesperson said, “Hosted as part of the organisation’s Education pillar, the event welcomed members and guests to Carey Olsen’s office in Bermuda for a candid and thought-provoking discussion led by a panel of professionals, all of whom shared their AI journey to date.
“The panel featured:
- Jinhwa Rustand, AI Enthusiast & Investor
- Priya Suagh, Managing Director, Niche Communications
- Aqsa Zubair, Deputy Director, Supervision, Fintech Department, Bermuda Monetary Authority
- Moderated by Charissa Ball, Counsel, Fintech & Regulatory Compliance, Carey Olsen Bermuda
“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 panelists 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.
“One comment that particularly resonated with attendees was that we often feel we have AI figured out on Friday, only to find that everything has changed by Monday.
“Perhaps the most encouraging message of the evening was that AI is creating new opportunities for individuals from all backgrounds to engage with technology. As the pace of change continues to accelerate, curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to learn may be some of the most valuable skills professionals can develop.
“The event also marked the second event of the year as part of 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. Alison Morrison, Chair, noted that the relaunch was only possible due to the efforts of dedicated volunteers and extended her thanks to Barbara McWhirter and Amy Clarke, the panelists and all those in attendance for their contributions and support.
“Barbara McWhirter encouraged attendees to join as members and take advantage of the growing calendar of events planned for the year ahead. Upcoming sessions will include a speed networking event designed to deepen connections across generations of professionals, as well as additional educational and networking events. For anyone interested in being a part of the committee, please contact Barbara McWhirter or Alison Morrison.
“Attendees were also encouraged to suggest future topics, ensuring that the local chapter remains responsive to the evolving interests and needs of Bermuda’s professional services community.
