Welcome back to AI Finance Revolution, the weekly briefing for professionals who move money as fast as the models behind it. Each issue filters the week’s sharpest headlines, standout tools, and need-to-know insights, so you lead the AI wave instead of chase it.
This week’s pulse: Goldman Sachs unleashes its firm-wide AI assistant, Revolut preps a personal money coach, and HSBC slashes trade-finance paperwork with live document checks. IBM open-sources “Granite” models built for bank audits, Mastercard layers anomaly detection into its fraud stack, and PhysicsX raises fresh capital to price risk with physics-based AI. We spotlight Finmo’s new treasury copilot, break down retrieval-augmented generation in plain English, and list the key events where these trends will turn into deals.
Scroll down, grab what matters, and step into the week fully briefed.
When AI enters the boardroom, every chart becomes a mandate for change.
