As FinovateFall 2025 approaches, we look back at a standout moment from FinovateSpring earlier this year, where William Mills sat down with AI keynote speaker and author Sharon Gai. In their conversation, Sharon discussed how artificial intelligence has been reshaping the fintech landscape, offering clear insights into the differences between narrow and general AI. She reflected on the evolution of organizational structures in response to AI advancements and highlighted the importance of cultural relativism in global business expansion. Drawing from her international experience, she emphasized that adaptability and learning agility had become crucial skills as payment systems evolved and AI continued to transform cross-border operations.
