  • Great real world AI podcast

    I really enjoy this podcast. Raoul brings on great guests and asks the kind of questions that make complex topics in data and AI easy to follow and genuinely useful. Each episode feels insightful without being overwhelming, always something I can take away and apply.

    There’s a lot of buzz and high level (useless) content out there, but this podcast interviews guests that are ACTUALLY implementing real AI use cases, at some of the most reputable companies worldwide.

    Definitely recommend!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DAIM: Inside The Algorithm | Divya Kesavan on AI Transformation in Banking: Beyond RPA and Automation
Q: What are the biggest challenges in making backend automation reliable with agentic AI in finance?
The biggest challenges are reliability and governance; you must implement robust evaluation frameworks, observability, and human-in-the-loop controls while managing the rapidly evolving landscape of models and capabilities, especially within regulated banking.
DAIM: Inside The Algorithm | Divya Kesavan on AI Transformation in Banking: Beyond RPA and Automation
Q: Does it help if the workflow already has an RPA lens cast over it before AI injection?
It helps in that prior end-to-end investigations can reveal where human intervention is needed and where digitization can still progress, but AI is not a silver bullet; you still need to assess the earlier parts of the journey to determine where AI adds value.
BlackRock CIO Simona Paravani-Mellinghoff on Data, AI and Financial Inclusion
Q: Why is education and financial inclusion a personal priority for you?
Growing up with limited financial access, Simona emphasizes that investing and financial education must be accessible to all, and education can unlock meaningful opportunities in science and finance.
BlackRock CIO Simona Paravani-Mellinghoff on Data, AI and Financial Inclusion
Q: What is the most valuable upskilling focus for professionals in this AI era?
Focusing on a pyramid of skills: starting with interface and prompting, then critical thinking and collaboration, and finally creative thinking to reimagine processes and deliver value.
BlackRock CIO Simona Paravani-Mellinghoff on Data, AI and Financial Inclusion
Q: Could you walk us through your thinking on how AI will impact jobs and the workforce?
AI's impact is nuanced and depends on tasks within jobs; some tasks may automate, but new roles will emerge, and the emphasis should be on developing transferable skills and creative problem-solving to thrive.
