In this exclusive roundtable jointly hosted by Fintech News Network and Alteryx, senior banking leaders in Singapore shared how their institutions are deploying AI today, debated where human accountability still sits, and asked whether traditional banks will still exist in 10 years.
The conversation moved through:
- How leading banks are deploying AI today, from chatbots and fraud detection to internal coding assistants and agentic workflows
- The rise of citizen coding when “the coding language is now English”, and what it means when non-technical staff start building
- The leap in compute power that has outpaced traditional planning models, and one banker’s case that the industry is not ready for it
- Where human accountability still sits when AI is making more of the calls, and the trust calibration problem on both ends
- Whether the big incumbents will exist in 10 years, and what a bank built with 10 people would look like
- The talent shift no one is talking about: vanishing junior roles, context engineers replacing engineers, and the gender impact of AI automation
