Financial technology leaders discuss AI and payments in Bogotá

The inaugural AI in Finance (AIFI26) event held in Bogotá brought together executives from major banks, fintech companies, and technology firms to discuss the future of the financial sector. Key topics included the evolution of autonomous AI agents, which can analyze information and execute tasks independently, and the impact of instant payment systems like Colombia’s Bre-B initiative.

Participants from organizations including Rappi, Itaú, BBVA, Davivienda, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services explored how these technologies might reshape banking models by 2030. The discussions focused on moving beyond pilot programs to full-scale implementation of artificial intelligence and interoperable payment platforms.
