    11:45 - 11:55Keynote
    AI Changes Everything. Are We Ready?
    By Shmulik Haber, CEO @ Internet Binat

    Public AI platforms, private AI models, coding assistants, and autonomous AI agents are rapidly becoming part of everyday business operations. As organizations connect AI to corporate data, internal knowledge bases, applications, and decision-making processes, they are also creating entirely new categories of risk. Prompt injection, data leakage and guardrail bypass techniques are real challenges that many organizations are only beginning to understand.

    The most successful organizations will approach AI Security from two directions simultaneously: Defense and Offense. Defense focuses on governance, visibility, and control. Offense focuses on actively challenging AI systems through adversarial testing, AI red teaming, and controlled attacks. This keynote explores why securing AI requires both mindsets, what organizations are learning from real-world AI deployments, and how leaders can embrace the benefits of AI without losing control of the risks that come with it.

    Predicting People: The Next Layer of Financial AI
    By Amit Gal-Or‏, ‏Co-Founder & CEO @ 42ai

    Financial organizations are moving beyond AI copilots and automation toward systems that can understand, predict and respond to human behavior.

    From fraud prevention and credit decisions to customer journeys, personalization and risk management, behavioral AI is becoming a critical layer in how financial companies operate. This keynote will explore how predictive models can help organizations simulate decisions, anticipate customer actions and build smarter financial products.

    As AI becomes more autonomous, the real competitive advantage may come from understanding people better, not replacing them.

  • 12:05 - 12:30Panel Discussion
    The AI-Native Race in Fintech & Commerce

    • Michael Mitrani, VP E-commerce & Marketing @ Super-Pharm

     

    AI is no longer a feature inside fintech products, it is becoming the foundation of the industry itself. Founders, enterprise leaders and investors discuss how AI is reshaping payments, lending, compliance, customer support and internal operations across the fintech ecosystem. We’ll explore which business models will survive, what infrastructure companies need to scale, and whether every fintech company must now become AI-native.

  • 12:30 - 12:45Fireside Chat
    When AI Starts Spending Your Money

    AI agents are beginning to book flights, purchase software, negotiate services and manage financial workflows on behalf of users. But what happens when autonomous systems gain direct access to wallets, payment methods and financial decision-making?

    Your Financial Life Needs an Operating System
    By Lior Shkoori, Co-Founder & COO @ Cover

    Most people still have no clear understanding of their pensions, savings, insurance and long-term financial future. Financial information remains fragmented across banks, pension providers, insurance companies and disconnected platforms.

    In this keynote, we’ll explore how AI and modern financial technology are transforming the way people understand, manage and optimize their financial lives. As financial services become more personalized, proactive and intelligent, the next generation of fintech may look less like banking, and more like a personal operating system for money.

  • 13:25 - 13:40Fireside Chat
