Contextual & Conscious Banking in the AI Era

How AI is reshaping value, trust, and advice in financial services - with IBM’s Global Research Lead for Banking Paolo Sironi

Artificial intelligence isn’t just reshaping banking operations — it’s redefining what value, trust, and advice mean in financial services.

In this exclusive webinar, Paolo Sironi, IBM’s Global Research Leader in Banking and Financial Markets and author of Banks and Fintech on Platform Economies, joins Jona, CRO at openthebox, to discuss how the AI-first era is transforming the foundations of banking.

Together, they explore:

  • Why the next phase of digital transformation demands contextual and conscious banking.
  • How AI can become a catalyst for transparency rather than a threat to human advisory.
  • What it takes for banks to evolve from product-centric to value-centric models.
  • How risk management, governance, and culture determine whether AI becomes an advantage or a liability.

This conversation is part of our ongoing series on how data, technology, and human insight intersect to shape the future of finance.
