AI in Fintech is moving from the “wow” phase to the “utility” phase.
Simon Taylor’s latest Fintech Brainfood highlights a crucial shift: AI is no longer a feature but the development of fundamental infrastructure for the future.
The AI labs are waving their arms. It’s time we look up. AI researchers are warning us: the “exponential takeoff” is here.
GPT-5.3 helped create itself. Spotify developers haven’t written code since December—they’re now managing AI that does the coding. Anthropic’s CEO predicts Nobel Prize-level AI by 2027. One developer just built a billion-dollar company solo. AI is now exhibiting taste and judgment — the “safe zone” we thought we’d hold for years.
If AI can code, create, and reason, what does that mean for knowledge workers? The question isn’t if this shift arrives, but when.
Don’t wait for the whiplash. Start conversations. Experiment. Stay curious.

As a side topic.
Ever wondered why articles are becoming more frequent, are better written and eye-catching nowadays? The author highlights below his method of articulating his thoughts and using AI to help him refine the final version of his articles:
“If AI has taste, what do we need writers for?
In my own experience, the quote from Matt Schumer resonates. I write a lot, and it used to be that an essay would take two days of effort to do well. I always started out knowing roughly what I wanted to say, but the research, organising the ideas, and making it readable, that was an iterative, agonising process.
And I can honestly say that’s shifted to the point where now I can open a Google Doc, dump in some of my thoughts and sentences, a summary of a YouTube video, some quote snippets like the ones in this article, and give it to Gemini to re-structure and then Claude to add finesse.
What comes out the other side is usually 80% done. And what took 2 days now takes 2 to 4 hours. In fact, that’s the very reason I do this AI edition of the newsletter.
This essay worked that way. And what you’re reading now was the output of 5 or 6 back-and-forth prompts, a manual edit, including this sentence, and then another quick review with Opus 4.6 before publishing.”
