SBS CyberSecurity CEO and Co-Founder Chad Knutson was tapped to lead AI sessions across two of June 2026&#8217;s most closely watched banking education programs, a back-to-back run that underscores his standing as a trusted, practitioner-first authority on AI in financial services.<\/p>\n<p>     SBS CyberSecurity (PRNewsfoto\/SBS CyberSecurity)      <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Knutson&#8217;s June engagements include the AI in Banking Virtual Summit, a one-day program for financial institutions on June 3, 2026, and the Graduate School of Banking&#8217;s AI Innovation Series, a multiday virtual program running June 8\u201312, 2026. Both were built for bank CEOs, senior leaders, and the operations, risk, compliance, IT, and lending teams responsible for putting AI to work responsibly. Each organization turned to Knutson to translate fast-moving AI developments into clear, defensible guidance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">&#8220;Banks don&#8217;t need more AI hype. They need a straight answer on what&#8217;s real, what&#8217;s risky, and where to start,&#8221; said Knutson. &#8220;Getting to do that twice in one week, in front of leaders who are making these decisions right now, is exactly the conversation our industry needs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Knutson&#8217;s summit session, &#8220;AI 2.0 in Banking: What&#8217;s Changing, What&#8217;s Coming, and What It Means for You,&#8221; is built to give attendees a shared foundation before the program&#8217;s deeper sessions.
