Key Quotes: 

• “I think there's definitely a promise there to the whole discussion about co-pilot experience, or I think many people describe AI as kind of your assistant, which will do those manual tasks that you had to do previously and you get freed up that time to do something completely different. I think that itself will evolve how all of us will work both in our personal life and then in our normal roles as well going forward.”
•  ”I think as an organization, we have been using AI for a long time. I would say specifically around our data management processes and as we bring in new content for our financial services customers, AI has always always been there and for a long time, obviously, with large language models, we are staying very close to the market, seeing that how our financial services customers will want to evolve their workflows going forward.”
