Summary
Houssem Chatbri is a Director of the AI Hub at BNY with nine years of experience building and governing AI/ML systems in FinTech. He leads GenAI, AI governance, and responsible AI initiatives, translating research-grade methods into audited, production-ready solutions across financial services. Previously a Principal Data Scientist at BNY and senior data scientist roles at Optum and research institutions, he combines hands-on model engineering (fraud detection, real-time video metadata) with academic rigor from a PhD in Computer Science. He serves on CeADAR Ireland’s Industry Advisory Board, bridging industry needs and national research priorities. Comfortable moving between research collaborations (University of Tsukuba, RIT, UNE) and enterprise delivery, he is as fluent in policy and governance as he is in model prototyping. Colleagues note his rare ability to make responsible-AI practices operational without slowing product velocity.
