Organizations have invested heavily in AI, yet many struggle to show tangible value. Despite strong strategies, major spend and numerous pilots, outcomes often fall short — productivity gains are uneven, impact is hard to measure and transformation hasn’t scaled as expected. In this candid panel, industry and technology leaders move beyond success stories to examine real AI value creation, sharing where investments delivered results, where they stalled and what enabled some to break through. This EY discussion explores how data readiness, operating models, governance and platform choices determine whether AI becomes lasting business value or remains an experiment.

AI is only as powerful as the data platform behind it — and legacy architectures are holding financial services back. In this session, leaders from LPL Financial and Morgan Stanley share how they are transforming legacy data platforms into AI‑enabled foundations for enterprise innovation. The discussion highlights how modern data architectures unlock business value, improve operational efficiency, and accelerate advanced analytics and AI‑driven insights. Attendees will learn how Snowflake CoWork activates data as a strategic asset to deliver personalized client experiences and competitive advantage, along with practical lessons from real‑world transformation challenges.
