In this closing keynote, industry leaders explore the macroeconomic implications of AI in finance: How will AI redefine competitiveness and growth across the sector? What opportunities and risks does it create for institutions, employees, and customers alike? And how should financial firms prepare to thrive in an era where AI becomes a systemic driver of change?
