Episode 01: AI in Banking and Finance: What Changes When Machines Join the
Team?

In the first official episode, we speak with Rorey Rose about how artificial intelligence is
being introduced into analytics, strategy, finance, and the banking industry. Using Rorey’s professional experience, the conversation explores how AI is currently affecting the industry, where it is creating new opportunities, and how it is changing the way professionals analyze information, make decisions, and complete their work.

The episode also examines the human side of this transformation. We ask which responsibilities still require professional judgment, experience, trust, and decision-making, whether AI could eventually replace some roles or tasks, and how people working in the industry may need to adapt as AI becomes more capable. Rather than only asking whether AI will replace people, the episode looks at what it may actually mean to work alongside AI in the future.

Episode Zero: AI in Digital Marketing: Where Do Humans Still Matter?

In the prototype episode, we speak with Ejin Zandi about how artificial intelligence is being used in digital marketing and how it is changing the way marketers work. The conversation explores how AI is currently applied in areas such as understanding
customers, analyzing information, supporting marketing decisions, and improving marketing processes. Drawing on Ejin’s professional experience, we also discuss the limitations of AI and the situations where human judgment, creativity, experience, and understanding are still necessary. The episode considers how marketers can use AI as a tool without completely depending on it and explores how professionals can find the right balance between technology and human decision-making.
