They gather insights from real-life cases, study the skills needed for frontline staff, and discuss ways to keep data secure.
3. She was also part of the Digital Business Transformation forum, which was later covered by Handelszeitung. This article touched upon the even that hosted nearly 200 executives - especially innovation managers from different industries at the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute in Rüschlikon. One focus of the event, moderated by Christine Maier, Claudio Dionisio, and Andreas Göldi, was artificial intelligence. As a cross-sectional topic, it affects all industries equally. The many opportunities, but also risks, arising from AI were discussed. Therefore, IT resilience is all the more important, according to the consensus within many discussions, with the resilience of companies having much to do with data quality and the right processes.
4. The Evident AI Index Key Findings report:
The latest Evident report offers a comprehensive snapshot of the current status of Financial Services.

Dr. Sina Wulfmeyer's key takeaways:
- Only a handful of banks are at the front of Gen AI, with notable frontrunners being US and Canadian banks like JPMorgan Chase & Co., Capital One, and RBC. JPMorgan Chase & Co. retains its top position for the second consecutive time.
- European banks generally follow their North American counterparts, with only a few able to compete, including UBS (#5) and ING (#8). The highest-ranked German bank is Deutsche Bank (#29).
- Competencies are distributed differently: North American banks lead in cultivating AI talent and driving innovation (AI Research, AI patents), while European counterparts shine in AI-focused leadership and transparency.
- The competition is fierce, and banks that don't pick up the pace will quickly find themselves left behind.
