What AI Still Can’t Do: Two Big Banking Narratives Get Tested
Thursday, 24 September, 2026
What AI still can't do is at the center of two of the biggest debates in banking right now. Stacey shares a standout Finovate takeaway: a story about a janitorial company that uncovered a business opportunity no AI agent would have spotted. Meanwhile, new research suggests 8 in 10 businesses would consider switching to a financial institution built specifically for their industry. Maybe the future belongs to whoever asks the best questions. Ron and Stacey debate why human curiosity may become more valuable in the AI era, whether fintech demos are solving real problems or just winning beauty contests, and why banks are increasingly focused on owning workflows instead of chasing deposits.They also break down Chime's acquisition of Stride. Is it a smart strategic move, or a case of "congratulations, now you have bank problems"? Expect candid opinions, sharp analysis, and a few spicy takes along the way. Show Notes: Chime Bought a Bank.
