The day when the entrepreneur asked himself the right question to embrace AI not as a tool, but as a digital colleague.
“Over my 25 years in the industry, we’ve transitioned from a paper-based system to digital records and, more recently, digital processes. While data digitization was the first step, many companies are still struggling with process automation due to increasing regulatory demands. Under pressure, firms tend to revert to old methods rather than embrace innovation. A perfect example, it recently took a firm four months and hundreds of emails just to open a bank account, imagine how long setting up a fund takes!
Manual intervention and excessive handovers remain major bottlenecks. Client onboarding, document verification, and compliance checks are still incredibly labor-intensive. AI can automate these repetitive tasks, reading documents, verifying information, and filling out forms, so humans can focus on critical decision-making. AI is not about replacing people but enabling them to do what they do best: think creatively and make strategic choices.
“If you don’t adopt ai, you’ll fall behind.”
The new wave of AI isn’t just about efficiency hacks, it’s about handling complex work. Unlike past AI models, today’s AI can adapt, reason, and collaborate. What’s truly revolutionary is that you don’t need to be a technical expert to leverage AI. The “programming language” of AI is plain English, meaning innovation is now accessible to everyone in an organization.
Trust is a major hurdle, AI decisions must be explainable, especially in governance and compliance, where legal risks are high. Integrating AI into existing systems is another challenge, though AI can also streamline that process. Beyond compliance, industries like healthcare, logistics, and customer service will see major disruption, with AI enhancing decision-making, efficiency, and automation.
Without revealing too much, I’m joining forces with my brother and former co-founder at BlueCube.ai, an AI platform designed to automate complex tasks with a human touch. Our vision is for AI to function like digital colleagues, intelligent, adaptable, and seamlessly integrated into your team. Instead of being tools, these AI assistants will collaborate with you in a natural, intuitive way. And yes, you can even speak with them!”
