Summary

On this episode Sean Mallean, Head of Global Innovation at NCR Atleos, makes a strong case for how an older technology -- edge computing -- can team up with a mighty mini version of todays LLMs -- the small language model -- to produce better banking results for financial institutions. Add in biometrics to reduce friction and you're looking at a vision of banking that best serves customers and employees alike.
