Banking's GenAI evolution: Beyond the hype, building the future

In an era where AI promises to reshape banking's fundamental operations, how do institutions separate genuine transformation opportunities from temporary trends? In the first episode of a three-part video podcast series sponsored by HCLTech, FStech explores how financial institutions can navigate the transformative potential of Generative AI while building lasting foundations for innovation.

In this first episode, Sudip Lahiri, Executive Vice President & Head of Financial Services for Europe & UKI at HCLTech cuts through the noise to examine the cultural, technical, and organisational bedrock required for meaningful GenAI adoption in banking.

From fostering AI literacy across organisations to establishing governance frameworks that enable innovation, discover how leading financial institutions are laying the groundwork for a future where technology enhances rather than replaces human capabilities.
