The Future of AI Competition in Financial Services After DeepSeek's Breakthrough - with Sudeep Kesh and Martin Whitworth of S&P Global Ratings

As financial services accelerate their digital transformations, AI is reshaping how institutions identify, assess, and manage risk. But with that transformation comes an equally complex web of systemic risks, regulatory challenges, and questions about accountability. In this episode of the AI in Business podcast, host Matthew DeMello, Head of Content at Emerj, speaks with Miriam Fernandez, Director in the Analytical Innovation Team specializing in AI research at S&P Global Ratings, and Sudeep Kesh, Chief Innovation Officer at S&P Global Ratings. Together, they unpack how generative AI, agentic systems, and regulatory oversight are evolving within one of the most interconnected sectors of the global economy. The conversation explores how AI is amplifying both efficiency and exposure across financial ecosystems — from the promise of multimodal data integration in risk management to the growing challenge of concentration and contagion risks in increasingly digital markets. Miriam and Sudeep discuss how regulators are responding through risk-based frameworks such as the EU AI Act and DORA, and how the private sector is taking a larger role in ensuring transparency, compliance, and trust.

Today's guest is Andy Byrne, Founder and CEO of Clari, returns to share early findings from Clari's upcoming report on AI in revenue operations. The headline: 2024 was tough — only 33% of revenue leaders hit plan — yet 91% expect to hit 2025 targets, largely due to AI. Andy breaks down how leaders are using predictive AI to surface risk and momentum and generative AI to create, convert, and close across deals, reps, products, and regions. He details why internal conversational data often outperforms external signals, what "agentic strategies" look like in practice, and why non-adopters risk leadership churn. We close with a tactical playbook for forming a CRO–CIO steering committee, mapping human workflows, and running focused conversion experiments that ladder to measurable revenue lift.
