CAIA Ireland Fireside Chat
The Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) Association is the global professional body dedicated to alternative investment credential programs. On 26 November 2025, the CAIA Ireland chapter hosted 25+ members for it's 2025 end of year networking event plus Shane Gallery hosted myself for a fireside chat about AI in the funds industry and my podcast - The Fund AI Pod.
Key Q&A and takeaways from the fireside chat:
đź’ˇStarting AI use cases? Knowledge management agents
đź’ˇAI for efficiency vs insights/creativity?
Most start with efficiency then grow into insights (having more capacity from efficiency helps)
đź’ˇMain challenges? Regs / Tech / Culture? These days, culture!
đź’ˇImpact of regs? Less about what you use but how you use it. Roles/responsibilities, documentation, explainability, control framework
đź’ˇReplacing humans?
No - augmenting humans
đź’ˇMy own AI journey and my company's (zentia Consulting) approach to working with firms to identify use cases and build agents for them.
Great Q&A from audience with questions around AI bubble potential, circular investments, job displacement and more! I had a lot of fun
