Earlier this week, Magnetar and Daversa Partners co-hosted an exclusive evening in Menlo Park, bringing together tech CIOs, CISOs, and leaders in Gen-AI to discuss the future of enterprise AI. The event featured insightful discussions on how AI can drive innovation across industries and enhance critical functions like sales automation, compliance, fraud detection, legal, and finance. Key takeaways from our conversation: ?? ROI There is a demonstrated need for evaluation sets to measure pre- and post-AI efficiencies, especially in fraud detection, audit, and finance—sectors where AI’s ROI is particularly high. ?? Change Management AI’s success is closely tied to robust change management plans. Resistance at the line level remains a significant challenge, underscoring the need for top-down leadership to drive adoption. A critical point: performance management and incentive structures must evolve to reward AI-driven efficiencies. ?? Build vs. Buy An effective AI strategy often involves buying scalable solutions that can be tailored with enterprise data. Building on top of these solutions ensures efficiency without compromising customization. ?? AI Models AI excels as an information search platform, yet reasoning models remain in their early stages. Significant advancements are needed before these models achieve enterprise-wide adoption. A special thanks to our co-host, Daversa Partners, and to all participants who contributed their insights, including leaders from Google, Databricks, Uber, Coinbase, Netflix, CoreWeave, Cohere, Artisan, SentinelOne, Blackhawk Network, Splunk, Unity, PsiQuantum, Glean, Palo Alto Networks, Plaid, Luminai, You.com, Faire, Anduril, MultiOn, Zscaler, Google DeepMind, Orby AI, Activeloop and PEAK6.
