                <description>At the Communify Intelligence Experience, Rupert Baron, co-founder, TechnoWealth, returns to Finextra TV to unpack how the definition of wealth keeps moving and what that means for the industry. Baron argues the FCA&#39;s softening of the rules is nudging wealth management toward greater nuance rather than greater complexity, questions whether firms have truly embraced AI beyond the LLM, and reframes the great wealth transfer as a two-step process – first to the surviving spouse, statistically a woman, and only later to the next generation.</description>

Discussing the role of trust and security, they ultimately explain how technology is helping to provide humans with the individual customer details they need, faster. This technological intervention, they say, is built to match the customer needs that have outpaced advisor capabilities. Using this need for personalisation, and the capabilities of AI, they explain, actually ends up creating a deeper, human experience with advisors, by improving trust via speed and customisation.</description>

                <description>Attending the Communify Intelligence Experience in London, Leon Saunders Calvert, President and Managing Director, Economist Enterprise spoke to FinextraTV to provide insights into how approaches and perceptions towards data have changed. Saunders Calvert said that the importance of data has not changed, but how it can be used and applied has significantly evolved. He mentions many of the opportunities that have arisen since the growth in AI and how this has dramatically transformed the data discussion, and equally the task of sustaining trust and preventing hallucinations. He emphasised the crucial nature of data within decision making and suggested this should remain the basis for how AI is used and applied.</description>

Budzevski outlined the changes in AI, and emphasised the issue of trust - something that he says will continue to define what makes a company competitive as AI scales. He explained how agentic commerce entirely changes the typical relationships that consumers and leaders alike have gotten used to and value. Budzevski goes on to describe the complication of supporting merchants and consumers as they go through these changes.</description>

Reynolds began by questioning whether banks were using AI in the best areas, suggesting there could be areas such as forecasting, infrastructure support and other applications that are not being fully utilised - he goes as far as to suggest a future where a new payment hub could be created in a single week. When looking at the freedom to implement strategies like this, Reynold described the need for banks&#39; independence, even in an environment that requires more vendor relationships.</description>
