He Got Us Talking to Alexa. Now He Wants to Kill Off AI Hallucinations
If it weren't for Amazon, it's entirely possible that instead of calling out to Alexa to change the music on our speakers, we might have been calling out to Evi instead. That's because the tech we know today as Amazon's smart assistant started out life with the name of Evi (pronounced ee-vee), as named by its original developer, William Tunstall-Pedoe. The British entrepreneur and computer scientist was experimenting with artificial intelligence before most of us had even heard of it. Inspired by sci-fi, he "arrogantly" set out to create a way for humans to talk to computers way back in 2008, he said at SXSW London this week. Arrogant or not, Tunstall-Pedoe's efforts were so successful that Evi, which launched in 2012 around the same time as Apple's Siri, was acquired by Amazon and he joined a team working on a top-secret voice assistant project. What resulted from that project was the tech we all know today as Alexa. That original mission accomplished, Tunstall-Pedoe now has a new challenge in his sights: to kill off AI hallucinations, which he says makes the technology highly risky for all of us to use. Hallucinations are the inaccurate pieces of information and content that AI generates out of thin air. They are, said Tunstall-Pedoe, "an intrinsic problem" of the technology. Through the experience he had with Alexa, he learned that people personify the technology and assume that when it's speaking back to them it's thinking the way we think. "What it's doing is truly remarkable, but it's doing something different from thinking," said Tunstall-Pedoe. "That sets expectations… that what it's telling you is true." Innumerable examples of AI generating nonsense show us that truth and accuracy are never guaranteed. Tunstall-Pedoe was concerned that the industry isn't doing enough to tackle hallucinations, so formed his own company, Unlikely AI, to tackle what he views as a high-stakes problem. Anytime we speak to an AI, there's a chance that what it's telling us is false, he said. "You can take that away into your life, take decisions on it, or you put it on the internet and it gets spread by others, [or] used to train future AIs to make the world a worse place." Some AI hallucinations have little impact, but in industries where the cost of getting things wrong – in medicine, law, finance and insurance, for example – inaccurately generated content can have severe consequences. These are the industries that Unlikely AI is targeting for now, said Tunstall-Pedoe Unlikely AI uses a mix of deep tech and proprietary tech to ground outputs in logic, minimizing the risk of hallucinations, as well as to log the decision-making process of algorithms. This makes it possible for companies to understand where things have gone wrong, when they inevitably do. Right now, AI can never be 100% accurate due to the underlying tech, said Tunstall-Pedoe. But advances currently happening in his own company and others like it mean that we're moving towards a point where accuracy can be achieved. For now, Unlikely AI is mainly being used by business customers, but eventually Tunstall-Pedoe believes it will be built into services and software all of us use. The change being brought about by AI, like any change, presents us with risks, he said. But overall he remains "biased towards optimism" that AI will be a net positive for society.

What Could Future Banking Look Like If AI Takes Over?
Alex Kreger, UX Strategist & Founder of the financial UX design agency UXDA, designs leading banking and fintech products in 39 countries. getty The imminent integration of AI into daily routines promises to dramatically reshape our lives over the next five years, propelled by advancements akin to ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, etc. This shift is driven by the recognition that human capacities, while remarkable, cannot match the vast research and creative and analytical potential of artificial intelligence (AI). As we project into the future, it becomes clear that AI will also redefine digital banking experiences and grant individuals with financial capabilities that were once unimaginable. As a design strategist developing financial services for leading banks and fintech providers in 39 countries, I'm curious to envision how AI will overhaul the typical banking experience for everyday consumers. Although the complete adoption of AI across the financial sector has yet to unfold, it is crucial to anticipate its eventual impact. The question is no longer 'What if?' but rather 'How?'—and how best to brace ourselves for the changes that lie ahead. Banks already maintain enormous stores of customer data, but unlocking its true power demands cutting-edge technology. AI may well be the solution that helps institutions tackle customer demands with speed and accuracy. By channeling this data effectively, banks can provide individualized products at precisely the right time—an endeavor impossible for standard processes alone. The current data stockpile is merely a starting point. As digital tools evolve, financial institutions will gather much more data from smartphones, social networks, public service APIs, open banking APIs and IoT devices through 5G. This explosion of information calls for a robust, near-superhuman capacity to sift through the noise and pinpoint what truly matters—something AI might deliver within the next decade. In the coming years, the most significant AI-driven breakthroughs are likely to include: • Personalized Offers: Data-rich approach makes customized proposals more precise and simultaneously mitigates risks by matching the ideal product to the ideal customer. • Investment: By eliminating human biases, AI could evaluate a multitude of market and business variables to foresee investment success. • Security: AI could expedite verification by reducing the constant need for identity confirmations. • Financial Advisory: With the aid of big data and personal profiling, AI could illuminate each client's needs, generating in-depth forecasts and healthier financial practices. • Support: AI-powered bots could offer prompt, tailored solutions, greatly enhancing customer service. • Alternative Processing: AI-powered voice, gestures, neurotechnology, VR and AR interfaces will enable banking transactions beyond conventional channels. With Statista expecting generative-AI spend in banking to rocket to $85 billion by 2030, it's time for leaders to start by putting AI into their strategic plan—not just the tech roadmap. Hire a senior executive (Chief AI) who owns value creation and AI risks and spin up a cross-functional 'AI initiatives' that groups stakeholders, data scientists and product designers that move to an API-first, event-streaming service architecture so models can surface predictions (e.g., 'potential cash shortfall Friday') in real time. Early adopters are showing where the value sits, and leaders should take note. J.P. Morgan's Quest IndexGPT can generate investable indices; Morgan Stanley's Debrief can summarize adviser meetings; NatWest's Cora+ can handle nuanced customer queries. At the same time, Wall Street majors—from Goldman to Citi—are scaling internal LLM-powered co-pilots for drafting IPO documents, surfacing research or searching policies. Customer-facing assistants are already setting the bar. Bank of America's Erica has served 20 million active users, Wells Fargo's Fargo went from 21 million interactions in 2023 to 245 million in 2024 by using a privacy-first pipeline that strips PII before any LLM call. On the insight side, RBC's NOMI Forecast crunches account data to predict the next seven days' cash flow; more than 900,000 clients have generated 10 million interactions since its late-2021 launch. Generative models excel at turning trillions of events into the next best micro-experience. Commonwealth Bank of Australia's Customer Engagement Engine, for example, ingests 3.1 trillion data points and runs 2,000 real-time models, lifting loyalty with recommendations so much that mobile users now log in 67 times a month on average. The key is to couple a real-time feature store with small language models that handle intent, then let a larger model draft the personalized nudge or insight. Start with one or two journeys where better prediction or conversation will be felt within weeks—fraud alerts or an SME cash-flow coach. Ship, measure, retrain and fold the learning into a reusable component library so subsequent squads stand on the shoulders of the first. The biggest headwind is regulation: Europe's AI Act is already in force and will classify credit-scoring, KYC, trading and robo-advice models as 'high risk' by August 2026. Finding talent and culture is also an ongoing challenge. Banks are hiring aggressively, yet even Deutsche Bank admits the scarcity of seasoned AI professionals and the difficulty of embedding them in legacy teams. Third, security and trust: four in five bank leaders say they fear AI-enabled cyberattacks, and front-office chatbots can still hallucinate or breach privacy if left unsupervised. Mitigate by adopting zero-trust data-access patterns, embedding red-teaming into MLOps, and running 'constitutional' or retrieval-augmented QA layers that force a model to cite source documents. Initially, AI's role is to automate foundational tasks. Over time, however, I expect that it will evolve to deliver comprehensive solutions across all industries, including finance. After two decades of digital self-service in finance, AI can restore the conversation—context-aware, always on, and scaled to every customer. AI's full potential is truly immeasurable, and its effects on banking customer experience—and countless other sectors—will be transformative. By merging technological advancements with thoughtful user experience design, forward-looking companies can build a future where AI not only empowers individuals but also redefines entire industries. The era of AI-driven finance is fast approaching, and now is the time to prepare for its far-reaching influence.

Learning By Sharing: How GenAI Can Be The Giving Tree
Nitin Rakesh is the CEO and Managing Director of Mphasis and coauthor of the award-winning book 'Transformation in Times of Crisis.' Our world is witnessing a wave of advancements, from the emergence of automation to the implementation of artificial intelligence. For senior leaders, this acceleration presents opportunities and challenges. While striving to adopt cutting-edge technologies, they are also attempting to ensure these align with business objectives and ethical standards. One of the most transformative yet polarizing of these technologies is generative AI (GenAI). While it promises new avenues for creativity, problem-solving and efficiency, it also raises apprehensions about its impact on typical decision making processes. In this sense, GenAI remains a bit of a paradox for business leaders, as it is both a source of curiosity and a cause for concern. While executives see its immense potential as a transformative tool capable of boosting creativity, streamlining operations and generating efficiency gains across functions, there is an underlying wariness about how it can disrupt established workflows. In the face of GenAI's dual nature, executives are navigating a critical challenge of how to integrate this powerful technology without losing the distinctiveness of human intuition. Rather than framing GenAI as a disruptive force to be managed, a more productive perspective may be to see it as a collaborator—an enabler of shared growth and continuous learning. When viewed this way, I believe GenAI can become more of a partner in learning and development with whom leaders can foster a mutually beneficial relationship mirroring the spirit of mutual giving. However, embracing this potential demands a shift in mindset. It invites leaders to move beyond passive adoption and toward active stewardship of the human-AI dynamic. This reframing introduces important questions: Are leaders thoughtfully measuring GenAI's contributions, not just in efficiency but in depth and relevance? Are they engaging with it in ways that reflect their own values and expertise—training it, shaping it and learning from it in return? And perhaps most importantly, is their ongoing interaction with GenAI expanding their capacity for insight and growth? AI is not an autonomous force—it is a reflection of the data, intentions and perspectives we bring to it. Its development is inseparable from human input. The real opportunity lies not just in what AI can do for us, but in how the human-AI relationship can evolve into one of reciprocal enrichment. Consider an iconic children's literature classic: The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. In the story, the tree selflessly offers its apples, branches and eventually its entire trunk to the boy. This tale invites us to reflect on the nature of giving, taking and the balance of relationships. In much the same way, GenAI can be seen as a tireless provider—offering its computational power, adaptability and insights to organizations. Yet unlike the tree, GenAI does not give from a place of emotion or altruism. It responds to the quality of its inputs, the clarity of its training and the intentionality of its use. This analogy prompts a critical shift in how leaders approach AI. While it's tempting to focus solely on what GenAI can do for us—automating tasks, generating insights, fueling innovation—the more profound question is: What are we giving back? How are we shaping, stewarding and engaging with AI to ensure it grows in a direction aligned with human values and long-term impact? If organizations treat AI merely as an extractive tool, they risk building unsustainable dependencies. But if leaders approach the technology as a partner in co-evolution—offering guidance, expertise and ethical oversight—then GenAI becomes more than a resource. It becomes a trusted collaborator, capable of growing alongside the organization. Beyond GenAI's adoption, leaders must know its value, inspiring their teams to integrate AI into daily workflows. Evangelizing AI within the executive team is crucial to ensuring collective alignment, fostering a culture where AI is viewed as an augmentation of human expertise rather than a replacement. This requires a deep understanding of what GenAI can do, allowing leaders to define where it can have the most meaningful impact. For GenAI to truly benefit organizations, leaders must anchor its application in clear, measurable business objectives. Identifying the right problems for GenAI to solve and aligning its deployment with strategic goals ensures its use remains practical and value-driven. Governance is equally critical, ensuring that AI-driven decisions uphold ethical standards and comply with regulatory frameworks. Data quality, infrastructure readiness and an AI-savvy workforce further determine how effectively GenAI can be leveraged. The organizations that invest in these foundational aspects will be best positioned to turn AI into a long-term growth partner like the enduring relationship between the boy and the Giving Tree. When leaders take ownership and adopt an interactive approach, they create an environment of collaboration. Talented individuals are also drawn to such leaders—not just for their effectiveness but for their generosity and team-focused mindset. It is crucial that leaders actively coach GenAI so it evolves in tandem with organizational needs. By continuously refining and adapting its algorithms, leaders can make GenAI more iterative, refined, intelligent and thoughtful. Much like mentoring human employees, providing AI with feedback allows it to improve over time. For instance, organizations have enhanced customer service chatbots by training them on real user interactions, enabling them to respond with greater empathy and accuracy. These iterations ensure that AI evolves to handle more complex queries, improving both customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. With each successive interaction, AI becomes better suited to the evolving needs of an organization. This illustrates the timeless relevance of Moore's Law, which predicts that computing power will double every two years. Just as computing capacity expands exponentially, so too can GenAI's ability to solve complex problems as long as it is actively coached. As AI models become more advanced, the need for a growing network of skilled, human trainers becomes essential for their continued improvement. The constant feedback and refinement will fuel GenAI's exponential development—enhancing its capacity to transform businesses. The key to thriving in this new era of AI is learning how to strike the right balance with thoughtful strategy. As organizations continue to work closely with GenAI, partnerships will evolve, leading to exciting outcomes. What will be crucial to keep in mind is that this exchange between human and machine fosters sustainable progress built on collaboration and just practice.
