WEBINAR

Where AI meets reality

Join Alloy and Fintech Takes for a candid discussion on where AI creates real impact — and where the risks are real, too.

February 25, 2026 | 12:00 p.m. EST / 10:00 a.m. MST

As we head into 2026, there is no shortage of AI hype.

And as that hype filters down through boards of directors and C-suites, to the operators responsible for mission-critical systems, workflows, and employee and customer-facing experiences, it provokes a crucial question.

A question that will be unavoidable for bank and fintech executives this year:

Where does AI add value, and where does it introduce risk?

Despite endless amounts of “thought leadership” on LLMs and agentic AI, and seemingly limitless investor appetite for backing “AI-powered” products of every stripe, this simple question remains frustratingly difficult to answer.

In this virtual event, Alex Johnson (Founder of Fintech Takes) and Jason Ioannides (VP Fintech and Sponsor Banking at Alloy) will explore how banks and fintechs are using AI to make better risk decisions, addressing:

The structural challenges inherent to LLMs and what those challenges mean for various AI use cases within financial services.
Real-world stories of how banks and fintech companies are attempting to deploy AI into production today, and what their successes and failures can teach us.
A framework for thinking about how AI capabilities can be safely and productively deployed in financial services workflows.
