We can't talk about AI innovation in finance without addressing one of the most overlooked areas with the highest ROI: document automation.

Manual processes don’t scale, and in finance, they leave too much room for risk, delays, and compliance issues.

This Week: Inside the FinTech Lab: AI, Blockchain, and the Realities of Innovation in Finance

AI is no longer a shiny object in finance.

It’s a practical tool for reducing cost, risk, and complexity. But adoption is harder than expected.

Luke Giancarlo, Director at the FinTech Innovation Lab, shares how top financial institutions are shifting from experimentation to execution, prioritizing internal efficiency, data governance, and scalable partnerships over flashy use cases.

We covered:

• Why most banks paused customer-facing AI to fix internal workflows first

• How buyers evaluate AI vendors based on ROI, not technical novelty

• What sets real solutions apart in a crowded landscape of lookalike tools

• Why blockchain and AI are converging to deliver both intelligence and traceability

• How stablecoins are forcing treasury, payments, and back-office systems to evolve fast
