Program Overview

The Massachusetts Bankers Association is thrilled to partner with Western New England University’s (WNEU) NextGen Enterprise Academy (NGEA) for a 2-day Artificial Intelligence Bootcamp this spring. This brand-new educational experience offers members hands-on experience with generative Artificial Intelligence (AI or GenAI) to develop practical skills for the workplace.

We know that AI adoption will transform industry and workplaces, which means that enterprise-wide training is essential for future success. The AI Bootcamp will provide frameworks for understanding AI history, and the guardrails needed to ensure compliant banking business practices. Attendees will leave having created a bank-specific use case for GenAI as well as a 90-day AI adoption plan.

This virtual training will blend instructional sessions with academics from the WNEU NGEA and Batoi Academy, as well as a full week of access for practical work with remote mentor support. No coding background is required to participate in this program.

What You Will Learn

• Choose the proper use cases now (e.g., LLM copilots vs. agentic fl ows vs. retrieval - fi rst patterns) and stage the rest for later.
• Operate safely with clear input patterns, prompt audit logs, and human-in-the-loop checks.
• Structure governance that works even as detailed AI rules are still forming—leaning on well-known banking risk frameworks and exam expectations.
• Explain outputs and the shift from deterministic to probabilistic systems; set user-facing disclaimers, reviews, and sign-off s.
• Protect data with security and privacy controls aligned to bank policy, vendor contracts, and audit evidence.
• Produce artifacts management and examiners expect (use-case register, model/ service cards, risk registers, test logs, and board materials).
