One of the presences most strongly felt at CES was Alexa, Amazon’s voice activated assistant. According to a study done by NTT Data, *she* is currently the most quickly adopted Artificial Intelligence.

This week we are exploring AI adoption in the home, and why AI is so powerful in the payments space with Brian Roemmele, payments expert and Payfinder founder. Normand Lepine from NTT Data is here to talk about their latest study: http://www.slideshare.net/NTTDConsulting/iot-disruption-and-opportunity-in-the-insurance-industry-71069160.

Also joining the show- Lalita Clozel from American Banker is talking about the Fintech Forum that was held in DC and the new regulatory expectations. And Sam Hodges, Managing Director of Funding Circle, tells us about their latest raise and their new opportunities.

And we want to make sure our listeners all have a taste of Sam Maule’s new podcast, Fintech5, so we are bringing you his episode with tech pioneer and visionary, Brian Solis!
