The panel brought together Mohamed Nour and other industry leaders to unpack how banks can move fast on AI while staying trustworthy.

“Real leadership in AI isn’t just about speed; it’s about trust at scale and tangible impact. Move fast, but also build what matters: customer value, clear guardrails, and strong data foundations. When banks, fintechs, and regulators align, innovation doesn’t slow—it compounds. Confidence rises, and new, sharply personalized products emerge to solve real customer problems, turning AI into a force for practical innovation and outcomes.” said Mohamed Nour, CTO, Sumerge
