Recorded live from Money20/20, this episode of FinTech Hustle gets into the AI questions that are starting to feel a lot less theoretical for banks, credit unions and fintechs.

Sam Kilmer sits down with Karen Buell of equipifi, Tommy Nicholas of Alloy and Adam Blue of Q2 to talk about what they’re actually hearing in the halls of Money20/20. The conversation digs into how financial institutions may handle AI agents accessing customer accounts, why fintechs can increasingly ship technology faster than their bank and credit union customers can absorb it, and why the risk of inaction may be every bit as important as the risks that come with moving too quickly.

They also get into AI-written software, what happens as machines generate more of the code and content we rely on, the importance of human experience in an AI-heavy world and a refreshingly blunt reminder for the industry: know your stuff before you say it.

Oh, and because this is Money20/20 in Vegas, the crew starts outside overlooking the Sphere and has to relocate mid-podcast when the desert decides it's done providing adequate lighting. Very professional. Very Gonzo.

Guests include:

• Tommy Nicholas - CEO, Alloy
• Karen Buell, COO, equipifi
• Adam Blue - CTO, Q2
