The discussion explored how financial institutions could move beyond AI hype towards practical, responsible and value-driven adoption. David shared insights into why making AI “boring” could support successful adoption, while examining how AI was reshaping the definition of value, the nature of work and the future of jobs.

The conversation focused on AI strategy, governance, scale and safety, highlighting the need for organisations to establish effective frameworks that enabled innovation while maintaining trust and accountability. Participants explored how leaders could align AI initiatives with business objectives and build the capabilities required to scale AI responsibly.

The session provided practical perspectives for navigating AI strategy, capability and risk, with an emphasis on turning AI into a sustainable business capability rather than a technology experiment.
