Lloyds says Lis’ responsibilities will include overseeing the “responsible development and use of AI” across the group by leading the implementation of relevant safeguards and controls as the bank looks to further leverage the technology to enhance its products and services.
Lis joins a growing AI team at Lloyds that currently includes more than 200 specialists, including Rohit Dhawan, who the group hired as director of AI and advanced analytics in August.
In comments, Lis says AI “represents a big opportunity” for Lloyds, while Dhawan adds that the group is “investing and recruiting at pace”.
With a PhD in computational linguistics, Lis brings extensive experience in AI to the bank, and previously leveraged her 15 years of experience with the technology to advise the UK government’s Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation on the use of responsible AI.
She joins Lloyds from Toyota Connected Europe, the technology solutions unit of Japanese car company Toyota, where she has served as head of analytics and data science for the past four years.
