A Look at AI Opportunities in Finance

7 March 2025
The truth is, we’re still in the early innings when it comes to understanding how artificial intelligence will shape the future of finance. While the hype is everywhere, the full impact remains largely unpredictable and that’s exactly what makes this moment so exciting.

Through recursive prompting and structured exploration in my own AI-assisted dialogues, I’ve started mapping out emerging areas where finance could evolve next. What began as whiteboard scribbles has grown into a set of ideas I’d like to share with you.

After all, finance has always been quick to adopt transformative technologies, from spreadsheets to high-frequency trading. AI won’t be an exception. Whether it's corporate finance, asset and investment management, wealth advisory, or transaction services, nearly every corner of the financial world stands to be reshaped in the decade ahead.

To spark your own exploration, I invite you to browse the interactive whiteboard embedded below. It's a living map of ideas - messy, in motion, and full of possibilities.
