Synopsis
AI is reimagining how we work, interact, and create. Yet much of the conversation in finance moves between the fear of AI replacing humans at one end, and hype at the other. The most intelligent conversations are the ones happening in the middle. Ones that are raising important questions like how do finance professionals genuinely work with AI to build a Human-AI augmented future, and what does it take to get there?
In this session, Tariq Munir, author of Reimagine Finance, draws on his hands-on transformation experience across global companies to unpack what human-AI augmentation actually means in practice. Beyond faster emails and quicker summaries, real augmentation requires rethinking how finance captures, creates, and delivers value, from redesigning core workflows to building the mindset and skills that make AI a genuine partner in the work.
You will leave with a clear view of why this shift matters now, why finance should be leading it rather than reacting to it, and practical steps you can start applying immediately. Above all, this is a conversation about the courage and curiosity it takes to act, whatever your role, and wherever you are on the journey.
