Most firms have AI pilots. Far fewer have scaled them. This panel moves past "is AI useful?" to the four applications that matter right now: AI for investment research and idea generation; operational efficiency through automated pre- and post-market workflows; AI-assisted execution and macro-aware algos; and the agentic frontier — models that decide what to buy AND execute the trade. Held under the Chatham House Rule so panelists can speak from real experience, not the marketing deck.
