Resilient by Design: AI, Risk and Digital Infrastructure

AI, risk and the new era of digital infrastructure
Economic uncertainty, geopolitical tension and climate disruption continue to reshape business risk, prompting senior leaders to reassess how digital infrastructure supports resilient, secure operations at scale. With the pace of technological change outstripping traditional models, the ability to anticipate, adapt and recover has become a defining competitive advantage.
From AI-assisted developer tools and predictive analytics to hybrid cloud and mainframe innovation, organizations are rebalancing agility with long-term control. A particular focus is emerging on how AI can be embedded not only to drive automation, but more to support more robust compliance, auditability and risk governance. The challenge now is how to modernize without destabilizing and how to ensure operational resilience designed across critical systems and processes.
This Financial Times briefing, held in partnership with BMC, will explore how organizations are modernizing legacy systems, investing and embedding AI to strengthen risk controls and redesigning infrastructure for resilience.
