Evident AI Index | Banks 2026 | Results

Tuesday, October 13, 2026

15:00-16:00 BST / 10:00-11:00 EDT

Virtual Roundtable

IN THIS SESSION

Since Evident's AI Index launched in 2023, banks have progressed from defining their AI strategies, to building the capabilities needed to deliver on them (talent, research, platforms, partnerships, and governance), to systematically deploying AI across the enterprise.

This year, that shift accelerated faster than ever. The average bank score rose 26%, nearly three times the pace of previous years. Yet the same institutions remain at the top, and the gap between those proving real value from AI and the rest of the industry is becoming clearer.

Join the Evident team for a virtual roundtable as we unpack the results of the 2026 Evident AI Index for Banks and what it reveals about the state of AI in banking.

Discover:

  • How the rapid acceleration of AI deployment is showing up across banks' businesses
  • How the leading banks are demonstrating tangible impact from AI, and why so few others are
  • How the enablers of AI adoption (Talent, Innovation, Leadership, and Transparency) are shifting as banks' AI programs mature
  • Why guardrails are becoming a competitive advantage as agentic AI moves into production
