We had a very engaging and energetic session with National College of Ireland (NCI) at the Citi Dublin Offices as part of the upStart initiative earlier this week. Fantastic to see so many of the NCI Leadership Team and Citi Management and Mentors attend the event. Super presentations on their startup projects as part of their study programs by a very diverse and savvy group of students. There was no shortage of confidence during the Q&A sessions!

2025 kicks off with the promise that Agentic AI will supercharge the capabilities and, therefore, the adoption of Generative AI. I partnered with Citi's excellent 'Future of Finance Team' who interviewed over 30+ AI founders and execs to systematically demystify the capabilities and gauge its impact in 2025. Your own 'Digital Jarvis' or just your 'Physical Self' at work in 2025?

2024 was an interesting year for technologists, especially those working in the field of Artificial Intelligence. During the year I attended many interesting events. One of the highlights for me was the invite from the Institute of Bankers (IoB) to speak at their Annual Future of Finance Summit. The topic was to predict what our Digital Future is likely to be. I really enjoyed preparing for the speech, which I wrote down. My aim was to express my views in a manner that reflected my beliefs and my personality at the same time. A short excerpt below: "I want to explicitly state that I have NOT used a Generative AI Model, like ChatGPT, to write this speech! If I had it would have been much shorter. As Mark Twain once said, “I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead.” For my last post of the year, I am sharing the rest of my efforts below, if anyone is looking to find out what our future is (definitely) going to be like. #AI #DigitalFuture #IoB #Innovation

The National College of Ireland (NCI) and Citi Ireland's collaborative upStart Innovation Programme was in full swing earlier this week with Citi Subject Matter Experts partnering up with their startup idea of choice to delve deeper into how to make these startup ideas a reality! Excellent ideas abounded: From intuitive AI-driven energy monitoring of specific buildings, digital donations via bi-directional cards and skills-exchange platforms, to apps that track your eco-friendly actions, there was no shortage of ambition and drive. More to come! Dr Anu Sahni, Davinia Conlan, Anna Bednarska, Elizabeth O'Brien, Chrysty C., Suvendu C. #ai #education #innovation #nci

The POLIMI Graduate School of Business Management in Milan partners with Trinity (TCD) Business School in Dublin to provide an immersive Residential Week in Dublin for its Executive MBA Programme on Disruptive Finance and Digital Transformation. Daniel Coughlan Head of Executive Ed Programs at TCD asked me to share my experiences in the role that technology plays in Digital Transformation today and AI will play in the future. Always good to interact with the next generation of thought-leaders from the EU! #Digital #FinancialServices #Innovation #AI

Citi Ireland proudly sponsors breakthrough Cancer Research. Nuffield Health, our on-site Fitness Centre team teamed up with Cancer Research to raise awareness and funds by organising a Rowathon in the atrium. Suvendu C. and I got a chance to participate by rowing for 15 minutes! We managed 3 km (I nearly fell apart but feel 10 years younger now). Great fun for a great charity!
