Abstract: The financial services industry faces unprecedented challenges in deploying artificial intelligence systems that balance operational efficiency with regulatory compliance requirements. This comprehensive framework addresses the critical gap between innovative AI prototypes and production-ready financial systems operating in cloud environments. The transformation demands sophisticated technical architectures that accommodate massive transaction volumes while maintaining strict regulatory adherence across multiple jurisdictions. Cloud-native pipeline architectures emerge as essential infrastructure components, enabling scalable data processing capabilities through containerized training environments and microservices deployment strategies. Security and privacy frameworks require comprehensive implementation encompassing network isolation, encryption strategies, and privacy-preserving techniques, including differential privacy and federated learning. Regulatory compliance frameworks address evolving requirements, including SR 11-7 model risk management guidance, GDPR data protection mandates, and SEC algorithmic fairness standards. Human oversight integration becomes crucial for balancing automation efficiency with regulatory accountability through intelligent decision routing and comprehensive governance structures. Implementation strategies emphasize DevSecOps integration, performance optimization, operational excellence, and continuous improvement processes. The framework demonstrates how financial institutions can successfully navigate complex regulatory landscapes while achieving scalable AI deployments that deliver sustainable business value and maintain competitive positioning in rapidly evolving markets.
