About this session
Most AI debates focus on training. For banks and insurers, the bigger risk sits in inference: every prompt, document and customer record a model sees at runtime. This session explains what inference is, why it breaks down for regulated enterprises, and what it takes to run any model, on any hardware, without data leaving the country. We close with how this works in practice in Singapore.
