In the inaugural episode of the FMSB Market Voices podcast series, host Laura Conaghan is joined by Daniel Mayston, Technical Consultant in the FMSB Secretariat and its lead on FMSB’s practitioner-led AI Working Group, to discuss the findings of FMSB’s Spotlight Review, AI in Trading: A Practitioners’ View of the Current Landscape.
The conversation explores how artificial intelligence is currently being deployed across electronic trading and financial markets, separating industry reality from popular perceptions. Rather than focusing on speculative future scenarios, the episode examines how AI is being integrated into existing trading systems, governance frameworks and market infrastructure today.
The discussion highlights the industry’s current approach to AI adoption, the role of human oversight, the suitability of existing risk management frameworks, and the need for practical guidance as AI capabilities continue to evolve. It also explains how FMSB’s practitioner-led model helps bring together market participants to identify emerging challenges and develop industry consensus on effective practices.
