Research & Insights
This keynote integrates recent research on AI's actual impact on finance employment, which roles face displacement, and where human-AI collaboration creates the most value.
One in Three Finance Roles Face Automation Impact
MAS / IBF Singapore Study, 2019
Of 121 finance job roles, 40 could be highly impacted by automation with potential convergence or displacement. Remisiers, traders, investment performance analysts, and post-trade specialists are in the line of fire. Middle and back office roles experience the greatest impact. However, few roles will be entirely displaced without human oversight or intervention.
27,000 UK Finance Jobs at Risk, £1.8B Savings Expected by 2030
Zopa / Juniper Research, 2025
Generative AI will deliver £1.8 billion in cost savings by 2030, but places 27,000 finance jobs at risk. Back office functions—compliance, fraud detection, risk management, KYC, AML—will be automated extensively, accounting for £923 million in savings. A capability gap is emerging between AI-native challenger banks and legacy institutions with older systems.
Human Judgment Remains Essential in AI-Driven Finance
Pennant Technologies Research, 2025
AI doesn't replace human expertise—it enhances it. AI instantly validates KYC documents and predicts delinquency risks, but underwriters review AI-suggested risk scores applying regulatory nuance and ethical judgment before approval. AI stretches perception and prediction while humans anchor intent and ethics. The future belongs to human-in-the-loop models that combine AI precision with human oversight.
