Summary

In this roundtable, we explored: What AI talent is critical to executing a bank's AI strategy? What banks are doing to develop their existing talent capability? Where banks currently stand in the race to recruit and retain the best and brightest in a highly competitive marketplace? And what role can external partners play in building capability in the short- and long-term?

We dived into the latest data and trends from Evident’s AI Talent Report and focused on practical insights from leading subject matter experts and industry practitioners.

Over the past six months, the overall pool of AI talent across the 50 banks in the Evident AI Index increased by 9%, double the rate of growth in overall headcount. And, in the last quarter alone, we've seen a 25% quarter-on-quarter increase in AI Development job listings.

But all banks are not growing equally. The recent growth in AI Development roles has primarily been driven by the US banks. And the most AI mature banks - the banks that already lead the way in the Evident AI Index ranking - appear to be accelerating their hiring efforts and pulling away from the pack.
