THEME 4: Future Predictions for AI in FS – What to Expect Next?
From Pilots to Production: Governing Enterprise AI with an AI Gateway
Across financial institutions, AI adoption has grown bottom-up: dozens of pilots, multiple vendors, uneven safeguards, and little visibility on cost or risk. The result is enthusiasm without control. Kosmoy founder and CEO Umberto Malesci will presents the AI gateway as an emerging best practice to move from experiments to production at scale. An AI gateway centralises which models and data sources can be used, enforces guardrails (toxic-content filters, prompt-injection defenses, PII protection, EU Act compliance), and standardises logging and approvals—so business teams can build quickly while a central function governs access, spend, and compliance. Mr. Malesci will show how routing rules and observability let organisations choose the right model for each task without sacrificing quality, and how usage analytics tie spend to user feedback to drive continuous improvement. Attendees will leave with a practical blueprint to govern AI—multi-model, multi-cloud, on-prem or private-cloud—without locking into a single provider.
Unlocking growth with AI infrastructure
For financial institutions racing to stay ahead in the AI era, the real challenge isn’t vision—it’s overcoming the unseen roadblocks that stand in the way of turning vision into reality. In this session, Ben Carter from CoreWeave will discuss common barriers to AI adoption in financial services, including limited infrastructure access, skill gaps, and growing CapEx requirements. And he’ll explore how industry-leading financial institutions are leveraging purpose-built AI cloud platforms to solve these challenges with unprecedented levels of speed, simplicity, and scale.
