AI Trends in Financial Services

AI in financial services isn’t a future bet, it’s today’s operational reality. And the teams hitting walls aren’t failing on models. They’re failing on the infrastructure, governance, and economics of running AI at scale in a regulated environment.

The pressure is everywhere at once. Trading desks need deterministic, sub-millisecond performance. Fraud models have to retrain continuously without disrupting live scoring. Compliance and research teams are deploying LLMs across document-heavy workflows, and discovering that generic infrastructure wasn’t built for it. And as deployments scale, token costs and API security are becoming board-level conversations.

Join WEKA and SemiAnalysis for a candid, invitation-only 45-minute conversation on the AI trends reshaping financial services. Val Bercovici, Chief AI Officer at WEKA, and Doug O’Laughlin, President of SemiAnalysis, will cut through the noise on where AI is delivering real outcomes, where infrastructure is the limiting factor, and what the smartest teams in the industry are building for the next 12–24 months.

This isn’t a product briefing. It’s the conversation your peers are having behind closed doors, and you’re invited.

What we’ll cover:

• Real-time AI execution
• AI as knowledge work
• Governance and performance
• Token cost budgeting and security

This session is built for the people making AI real in Financial Services organizations.

You’re not just showing up to listen; every attendee walks away with a custom Ray-ban experience because when performance is personal, your gear should be too.
