Discover how Cambridge Spark helps organisations build the data and AI capabilities needed to turn strategy into measurable impact: cambridgespark.com In this special episode of Data & AI Mastery Dr Raoul-Gabriel Urma goes inside the Financial Conduct Authority to sit down with Jessica Rusu, Chief Data, Information and Intelligence Officer at one of the most influential regulatory bodies in the world. The FCA oversees the conduct of more than 50,000 firms across UK financial services. Jessica sits at the centre of a question that every financial institution is grappling with right now: how do you move fast with AI while remaining genuinely accountable for outcomes? In this episode, Jessica shares how the FCA's digital and regulatory sandboxes are cutting fintech development timelines from a year to three months, why the FCA has deliberately avoided writing new AI-specific rules, and what firms consistently underestimate when deploying AI at scale. She also shares a practical framework for building a future-ready career in data and AI, drawing on her own journey from Ford Motor Company to eBay to the heart of UK financial regulation.
