Huawei Does Gen-Fi

BREAKING BANKS - THE #1 GLOBAL FINTECH PODCAST
About this episode

This week on Breaking Banks, host Brett King takes us to Shanghai for a riveting discussion with Jason Cao, CEO of Huawei’s Global Financial Services competency. In this eye-opening episode, they uncover how China is shaping the future with AI—not as a mere tool for profit, but as core infrastructure driving the world’s fastest-growing economy.

Discover why GenFi LLMs (Generational Financial Language Models) don’t exist yet—and what’s holding AI like ChatGPT back from transforming banking as we know it. Explore how China’s unique approach to technology infrastructure is setting them apart from the West, with Huawei leading the charge in algorithmic advancements.

But here’s the billion-dollar question: as China forges ahead in creating a Smart Economy of the Future, can the U.S. even compete?

The stakes are higher than ever. Tune in for a conversation that could redefine the future of global finance and AI dominance.
