AI risks, artificial intelligence threats, and risks of AI in finance are evolving faster than regulation can catch up. In this episode of The Curiosity Code, we explore the hidden flaws in AI monitoring, the systemic cracks in artificial intelligence risk & governance, and the fast-rising use of AI in financial crime networks.

Joining us are Dr. Edgar Lopez Rojas, founder of Revizor, and Valery Chua, an advocate of ethical AI, who expose the blind trust placed in AI systems and the invisible biases shaping critical decisions in fraud detection, KYC, and AML.

Burning cash, poor risk management, and weak strategies around enterprise risk management - they're the real reasons why so many promising startups fail quietly. In the NEW season of The Curiosity Code from London, we speak with fintech board advisor Stephane Malrait (ex-JPMorgan, ING, SocGen) to expose overconfidence, cash burn, and poor risk handling.

You'll hear hard-earned lessons from inside the boardrooms and trenches on how calculating cash burn wrong can destroy momentum, why risk mgmt is more than compliance, and how to scale fintech without losing your edge. Stephane shares thoughtful stories of costly product failures, misaligned teams, and how founders underestimate the complexity of risk and management in scaling environments.
