Fintech’s AI Moment
Fintech is being transformed by AI — again. From the first wave of digital disruption to today’s AI-native financial services, the pace of change continues to accelerate.
AI is enabling hyper-personalization, real-time risk assessment, conversational banking, and operational efficiency that legacy systems can’t match. But it’s also creating new challenges: regulatory complexity, competitive pressure, and the need to balance innovation with trust.
Ian Khan delivers keynotes that help fintech leaders understand where AI is heading, how to position for the next wave, and what organizational capabilities they need to build.
