"Professional services firms face a capability paradox," said Ash Khanna, Head of Professional Services at General Assembly. "AI can accelerate output, but it can't replace the judgment that comes from doing the hard work. We're seeing junior talent generate recommendations faster than ever, but struggle to defend the reasoning behind them. Firms must invest in the durable human skills that make AI output credible and defensible. Upskilling can't be an afterthought; it has to be as central to a firm's AI strategy as the technol

As AI agents begin acting autonomously, that model no longer holds. Payment systems were not designed to consistently preserve identity, intent, and context in a machine-v
