Everyone has likely been breached and will continue to be breached at some point. Unfortunately, current practices for protecting against identity theft and fraud are equivalent to "dark ages medicine" and do not effectively guide individuals on protective actions.

We chat with Jim Van Dyke, Senior Principal of Innovation for TransUnion on identity safety and how financial institutions can become better guardians for their customers by leveraging data in a smart and thoughtful way.  Hosted on Acast.

Generative AI in 2023 was a bit of an enterprise parlor trick: something that fascinated and amused workers-maybe helped them create an image or revise a blog post — but didn't provide substantial value to the broader organization. That's changing. In 2024, adoption is ramping up, and we're starting to see how generative AI will actually reshape the future of work. In this episode of One Vision, Theo chats with Chris Juneau, SVP, Head of SAP Concur Product Marketing, on how we can adapt to a changing world of finance with AI. Hosted on Acast.

Barb, Mary, and Theo reunited for a new episode of One Vision — FinTech Fuse! where we asked the rhetorical question of: “Do banks feel like the only way to compete is to put on a hoodie and pretend to be a startup?” Should we just put a .ai on everything?
