Proprietary software feels like a safe bet until it isn't.

There is little doubt that GenAI will have an impact on almost every aspect of our business and personal lives. However, we are at an interesting juncture: models are becoming ever more powerful, with prototypes showing ever greater promise, but there remain significant challenges when it comes to the reality of putting this technology into practice. How do we take these astonishing experiments and turn them into something safe and reliable that can ultimately be trusted in the wild? Financial services has a fairly long history with AI and machine learning. However, its place within the industry is shifting. It is no longer the exclusive tool of Data Scientists. Rather it is a tool we are placing in the hands of our engineers, product owners, and, if we are to maximise the benefits, we should be putting it in everyone's hands. But to do-so safely, we need to educate people regarding the strengths and weaknesses, the risks and opportunities this technology presents. Within FINOS, we are forming an AI readiness group that tackles some of these challenges. This talk will take a deep dive, exploring the changes we need to make as AI rapidly becomes a standard tool in our armoury

FDC3 2.2 tightens several nuts and bolts in the FDC3 Standard, but more importantly, it brings long-awaited, cross-vendor support for FDC3 in Web Browsers. FDC3 2.2 allows applications to write to the open source @finos/fdc3 NPM module and connect to any Desktop Agent in the browser that conforms to the latest version of FDC3! In this presentation, we'll provide an overview of everything that's new in FDC3 2.2, background on the development of FDC3 for the Web by the community (including how we fixed some of the assumptions baked into FDC3), followed by a guide to getting your apps ready for it, live demos, updated conformance testing and more!
