Decoding AI in Financial Services

One of the most compelling aspects of technology is the pace of innovation and change. This is the first book that examines how AI is changing corporate governance, business strategy and Board leadership in financial services. The book enables the reader to navigate confidently a world of hype and eco chambers. Written for Board Directors, the book addresses the knowledge gap at the leadership level with a thoughtful and sincere intellect. It draws from a thorough research and hands-on experience: 180 executives interviewed, 15,000 bibliography entries, 2 years of research including 2 months of academic grade research in Hertford College coupled with two decades of industry experience and Boardroom advisory work.

Clara Durodié approaches the AI technologies landscape with intentional simplicity. She explains core terminologies in simple but not simplistic terms while retaining a practical approach by introducing an ample number of AI use cases and useful frameworks. Clara has been serving on or working with leading organisation’s boards and is a promoter of ethical AI. This book has been reviewed as “on of the most thoroughly researched and well written books on AI” and “essential reading for any business leader or Board member”.
