About this episode

Today’s guest is Nate Bell, Corporate Functions Business Data Leader at Wells Fargo. Nate joins us on today’s show to discuss the growing role of AI in the financial services sector, focusing on reconciling infrastructure investment with innovative use cases. With a unique vantage point from the data side, Nathaniel explores three main challenges in data management: the cost of good data management, navigating new AI-related risks, and the complexities of anthropomorphizing AI. These issues, he explains, can lead to misconceptions both within management and in customer-facing environments, where AI’s “people-pleasing” capabilities are often misunderstood.
