Bhavnish Walia

I am a Senior Risk Manager at Amazon specializing in AI governance, risk management frameworks, and regulatory compliance for developer-facing technologies with 13 years of experience. I have launched new credit cards and airline loyalty systems and developed experimentation platforms using ML and AI. With extensive experience building enterprise-scale governance frameworks for AI solutions across regulated entities, I bring a unique perspective on the intersection of developer innovation and responsible AI deployment. I serve on the advisory board for the University of Kansas and have judged multiple AI hackathons including Lablab.ai events alongside distinguished judges from Google DeepMind, SAP, Apple, Capital One, and Adobe, as well as the Deriv AI Talent Sprint hackathon. My work focuses on enabling developer teams to build AI solutions responsibly while maintaining compliance with evolving regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions including the EU AI Act, Federal Reserve guidelines, and international standards.
