## Source excerpt

Andreu Mora - SVP / Global Head of Engineering Data, Adyen In this day and age, any company -- and especially tech companies -- needs to find a way to adapt and embrace AI. There's zero chance that the world and society won't change because of AI. On one side, we see how AI labs and the scientific community are spearheading the creation of frontier models and on the other side, how companies clearly see the value of AI but are still pinning down how they can apply these new technologies day to day in a meaningful way, for example in critical / large-scale production flows. Initiatives are being created and shipped that propel the technology forward in the right direction (e.g. MCP, A2A), but require network effects, outcome guarantees and other challenges to be solved in order to become a full-fledged reality. The world of fintech, and finance in general will change because of AI, and Adyen is exceptionally positioned -- given our tech-first mindset, scale and high quality data -- to play a primary role in this evolution. We have a great opportunity at being the fintech company that bridges the worlds of AI and finance. ✏ If you are new to Adyen, Adyen is a global financial technology platform, founded in Amsterdam in 2006, that powers end-to-end payments, data insights, and financial products for many of the world's leading businesses -- including Uber, eBay, and LinkedIn.
