Driving AI Adoption in Wealth and Asset Management - with Deep Srivastav of Franklin Templeton

In this episode of the ‘AI in Business’ podcast, Deep Srivastav, Chief AI Officer at Franklin Templeton, shares a candid view into the evolving role of AI in wealth and asset management — and how enterprises can move beyond isolated use cases to reshape core business capabilities. Deep unpacks the unique challenges financial firms face when implementing AI, from managing high-stakes accuracy and regulatory demands to harmonizing siloed data systems and building long-term ROI. He outlines Franklin Templeton’s own approach to building a successful AI roadmap, highlighting how cross-functional collaboration and a focus on transforming full business processes — rather than piecemeal experimentation — have proven key to sustained impact.
