Moderated by Daphné Leprince-Ringuet, the "Architects of Transformation" panel featured experts from Rave, DeepSets, Gena, and Defector to analyze the critical disconnect between enterprise expectations for deterministic AI and the stochastic reality of foundational models. The discussion highlighted that while companies like Defector have successfully deployed AI agents to double financing origination, widespread adoption remains hindered by legal concerns over training data, the high cost of production-grade infrastructure, and a severe talent mismatch between research engineers and product-focused builders. Participants concluded that the industry is shifting toward licensed, IP-safe "walled gardens" and emphasized that future success depends on integrating AI as a controlled operational component rather than a standalone feature.
