Dixon Schwabl + Company has launched the AI Readiness Check, a digital assessment designed to help financial institutions evaluate their preparedness for responsible AI adoption, announced in a press release. The tool was unveiled at the New York Bankers Association Financial Services Forum, where Chief Transformation Officer Malorie Benjamin presented a session on practical AI implementation in banking.

Developed in partnership with Cause + Effect Strategy and FLX AI, the AI Readiness Check measures organizational maturity across five areas: strategy, risk, data, talent, and governance. Participants receive instant insights into their readiness stage and tailored recommendations for next steps.

The tool builds on DS+CO’s “Four Levels of Responsible AI” framework, which emphasizes leadership readiness, design, measurable trust, and strategic alignment. Aggregated responses from participants will contribute to a forthcoming “State of AI Readiness in Banking” report, expected in early 2026.
