We recently held our flagship <\/span>AInvest 2025<\/span><\/a> conference, bringing together visionaries, innovators, and financial leaders to ask a critical question facing the finance industry: how is AI transforming the investment landscape? From global financial institutions to fast-moving fintech startups, the answer was clear: <\/span>the future of investing will be driven by intelligent, actionable insights, and it’s already here.<\/b><\/p>\n

Opening the Revolution: From Vision to Reality<\/b><\/h2>\n

The event opened with a keynote from <\/span>Gaby Diamant<\/b>, Co-Founder and CEO of BridgeWise, who reflected on our founding vision:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we founded BridgeWise in 2019, we had a clear vision: To transform the fragmented world of investments into a global, accessible, and transparent network of opportunities for everyone. Every morning, we wake up with one goal\u2014to empower millions of investors around the world to make informed decisions about any asset, anywhere, in any language.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Diamant further explained that both BridgeWise, and the AI industry have passed key milestones over the past few years, as AI has matured from a technology that faced significant skepticism, to one that is now a must have for multiple business categories.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we started, people asked us<\/span> if<\/i><\/b> this kind of AI solution was even possible. By 2021, they started asking <\/span>how<\/span><\/i>. We built the \u2018brain\u2019 of BridgeWise by training our proprietary AI model on 20 years of historical data, delivering explainable, actionable insights at scale. In 2025, with full market presence in Israel and offices in Brazil, Europe, Asia, and the UAE\u2014the conversation is no longer about <\/span>if<\/span><\/i> or <\/span>how<\/span><\/i>. Today, AI in finance is not a nice-to-have. It\u2019s the new baseline.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This opening session established the throughline for the entire event: the <\/span>investment intelligence revolution<\/b> is well underway.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where Do Things Stand After the 2023 AI Tipping Point<\/b><\/h2>\n

While ChatGPT may have first launched in November of 2022, it was 2023 that served as a tipping point for the AI industry as we all witnessed an explosion of rapid development and adoption of AI tools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the panel <\/span>\u201cThe Intelligent Bank: How AI is Transforming the Banking Industry,\u201d<\/span><\/i> the participants reflected on where the AI and investment spaces stand now following the last two breakout years for AI.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keshet Brosh<\/b>, Business Development Lead at AWS, highlighted that 2023 could be categorized as a year of POCs across financial institutions. Banks began experimenting with AI not just for back-office automation but also for client-facing solutions.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Echoing her sentiments,<\/span> Limor Shvartz<\/b>, Head of Data & AI at FIBI, confirmed the shift:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough we\u2019re not the biggest bank, it was important for us to be one of the first to offer AI-powered tools to both our employees and customers. My 20-year-old daughter is now making investment decisions\u2014and knows things I never knew at her age.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This idea drives home two important lessons that need to be learned. First, rather than replacing human knowledge or skills, AI is expanding information and abilities and serving as an important enabler. Second, a generational shift in investor behavior is underway, underscoring the urgency for institutions to evolve\u2014fast.<\/span><\/p>\n

AI – Buy or Build? Four Views from the Frontlines<\/b><\/h2>\n

Like many other technologies, businesses are faced with the question of building their own solution or buying a solution from a provider. This played out previously in the mobile space, with on premise data centers vs the cloud, and now we\u2019re seeing all categories of business tackle this challenge with AI.<\/span><\/p>\n

This question, and the specific way financial institutions are answering it, was a recurring debate across the event.<\/span><\/p>\n

This topic was front and center during the session <\/span>\u201cEmpowering Modern Financial Services: The Role of AI and Technology in Redefining Investment Intelligence, \u201d<\/b> which was hosted by <\/span>Michal Freeman-Shor<\/strong>, Head of Primary Markets – Israel at the London Stock Exchange Group. During the panel,\u00a0industry leaders shared their perspectives:<\/span><\/p>\n
