For much of the past year, conversations around artificial intelligence (AI) have centred on a single question: which jobs will AI replace next? The prevailing assumption has been that no industry is immune, least of all the financial industry, where speed, data, and automation play a central role. In fact, KPMG predicted that by 2025, 85% of financial institutions globally will have integrated AI into their operations.
While automation is reshaping workflows and accelerating decision‑making, volatility over the past few months, fuelled by the U.S.–Iran conflict, has exposed a different reality for traders. As uncertainty rises, many are seeking not just tools or data, but real people who can help them make sense of fast‑moving markets.
