Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

490. Checking in on the State of AI in EMEA Financial Services from the SS&C Deliver Conference
Q: What are the main barriers or obstacles preventing broader adoption of AI agents in financial services today?
Barriers include complexity of regulated environments, concerns about what AI agents should do, governance and board approvals, and the necessary investment to scale from pilot projects to industrialized solutions.
490. Checking in on the State of AI in EMEA Financial Services from the SS&C Deliver Conference
Q: And Richard, as you talk with those asset and wealth managers, have you detected that people really are seeing the value of having AI agents in the mix?
The value is evident when AI agents are deployed with proper governance; current adoption is cautious and mostly limited to back and middle-office tasks, with a path toward more ambitious front-office use as governance and confidence mature.
488. Agentic AI Organization Design
Q: How do you define agentic AI systems inside an organization and what capacities must be present before labeling something agentic?
Agentic AI in an organization is about orchestrating components (data extraction, modeling, interpretation, evaluation) so that outputs are reliable enough to move toward production, with human-in-the-loop checks at critical junctures to prevent errors and to ensure alignment with business goals.
486. Managing AI Costs while Scaling Agentic Workflows with Small Language Models
Q: What is Neurometric's approach to handling high-cost AI workloads for enterprises?
The company focuses on workload assessment, moving high-cost tasks from large frontier models to smaller, cost-effective models, and deploying task-specific endpoints to optimize performance and cost.
484. The Future Solving Mindset: How to Escape AI Pilot Purgatory and Lead with Vision
Q: How should leaders move AI initiatives out of pilot purgatory?
Ensure top leadership alignment from the outset, start with a compelling use case, and connect the initiative to a clear future state so teams see their roles and valuation in that future, not just the immediate ROI.
