Artificial intelligence is transforming financial services, but can it really be trusted when accuracy is everything?
In this episode of FinTech Focus TV, Toby Babb is joined by Rowland Park and Simon Gregory from Limeglass, to explore one of the biggest challenges facing AI adoption in financial markets: trust.
Together, they discuss why probabilistic AI creates unique risks in regulated environments, the importance of auditability and provenance, and why the quality of the information going into AI models is just as important as the models themselves. They also explain how financial institutions can reduce hallucinations, improve search and retrieval, and build AI solutions that are ready for production rather than just impressive demonstrations.
From deterministic systems and retrieval-augmented AI to the future of enterprise search and financial research, this conversation offers valuable insights into what it will take for AI to deliver reliable outcomes in one of the world's most demanding industries.
