Nobody puts [data] in a corner, but at the dawn of the digital age Bloomberg, Morningstar, & Verisk built category-defining businesses around cornered data. So - how’d they do it? a16z.com/putting-data-i…

Financial Service opportunities for GenAI.
Financial services is heavily regulated, so will be slow to adopt Gen AI right? Wrong. A year ago, Gen AI x FinServ use cases were theoretical. Now, early implementations abound & we have a clearer picture of GenAI's potential (+ opportunities hiding in plain site). A 🧵👇

@astrange 100% agree - especially with points 2-4, this is what we're working on at Metal (YC W23) 🙂 Would love to share more if you'd like to connect loom.com/share/26b1896d…
@astrange This is great thank you! There’s no other industry remotely close in inbounds we get for @guardrails_ai.
@astrange @hyperplaneai doing great work in the space
Thanks for the shoutout @astrange! We agree - banks and fintechs are already adopting GenAI to scale compliance and improve the customer experience
1/ Automating repetitive tasks (i.e. many humans doing the same thing!) Contrary to popular narrative - GenAI can *help* with regulation. Up to 15% work in compliance - expensive to find/train, deal with human errors --> @greenliteai can be (or augment) your entry level…
