Beyond AI
Thank you for joining me at the Digital FSI Summit 2025.
The presentation explored how AI amplifies rather than replaces human capability, and why the real competitive advantage lies in building antifragile systems grounded in trust, contextual intelligence, and human insight.

Thank you for joining me at the Digital FSI Summit 2025.

Key insights from the presentation
The presentation challenged the assumption that AI itself is competitive advantage, arguing instead for building antifragile systems that grow stronger under pressure.
Trust as the foundation
Human oversight doesn't make AI smarter—it makes people confident enough to act. The research shows 45% higher financial outcomes when humans are in the loop.
Contextual intelligence
Algorithms spot correlations, but only humans interpret intent and nuance. Organisations need feedback loops where diverse voices inform AI development.
Human insight as advantage
The capacity to treat disruption as information rather than threats, designing decision-making processes that improve under pressure.
The full essay
The complete long-form essay explores the fragile nature of AI systems and why human insight remains the ultimate competitive advantage. It examines real-world examples from financial services and provides a framework for building antifragile organizations.
