The consumer and auto finance industry is standing on the edge of its most radical transformation in decades—and the guardrails we once relied on are being rewritten in real time. In 2026, AI won’t just enhance operations; it will reshape power, redefine risk, and challenge many assumption about credit, pricing, and profitability. This webinar tackles the hard truths most institutions avoid.
Here are some trends we’ll break down:
- The rise of the Chief AI Officer
- The emergence of human-in-the-loop governance
- The transformative effect of agentic AI systems
- The convergence of credit risk and advanced pricing analytics
- And more!
This webinar pulls no punches. It is presented by industry experts in lending, analytics, AI, and machine learning.
If your institution isn’t ready for tariff shocks, regulatory tightening, margin pressure, and AI-driven decisioning, 2026 won’t just be challenging—it will be defining.
Join us to unpack the trends too disruptive to ignore—and what lenders must do now to stay competitive and resilient.
