Show Notes
In this episode of Risk-E Business, host Dave Colonna sits down with Jim King, Environmental Risk Manager at Fifth Third Bank, to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) is beginning to shape environmental risk management within financial institutions.
While AI adoption is widespread across banking, its use within environmental risk departments appears to remain more limited. Jim shares some of Fifth Third's journey from early experimentation with custom models to a more practical, post-ChatGPT approach focused on generative AI as a research and decision-support tool. The conversation covers how AI is currently being used to support regulatory research, industry and contaminant analysis, and even uncovering harder-to-find information about specific properties — while stopping short of fully automated workflows.
