AI: Risk Market Movers & Makers

Over the last several weeks, I’ve spoken with dozens of data analysts, tech experts, business transformation leads, and automation industry leaders about what it really takes to move AI beyond pilots. Their insights reveal both momentum and caution, which fit squarely into my Risk Market Movers & Makers framework:

Movers pushing AI forward:

  • Teams piloting voice-assisted workflows or financial crime monitoring

  • Risk and compliance groups upskilling on AI tools and terminology

  • Leaders funding AI at the enterprise level instead of in silos

Makers shaping guardrails and outcomes:

  • Teams enforcing proper data hygiene as the foundation for AI

  • Stakeholders testing tools internally before they go client-facing

  • Risk managers planning for worst-case scenarios while ensuring veracity of outputs

The consensus? Success won’t come from speed alone—it will come from trust, adoption, and measurable value.

AI risks aren’t just roadblocks; they’re signals to move smarter and make stronger systems. How is your team balancing moving fast with making responsibly in AI adoption?
