  EPISODE 243: EXPLORING ‘THE INTELLIGENT LEDGER’ AND BANKING’S NEXT HI-TECH REVOLUTION 15.09.2026 38мин

  o mark the publication of “The Intelligent Ledger,” co-authors Lou Carlozo and Dharmesh Mistry have just appeared on a special episode of Bankadelic’s sister podcast, “Dave and Dharm Demystify.” They’re interviewed by host Dave Wallace to explore why the convergence of AI, tokenization, digital twins and quantum computing will fundamentally reshape banking. Drawing on decades of experience in banking, technology and financial journalism, Dharmesh and Lou explore why the industry may be approaching a far more significant shift than previous waves of digital transformation. The conversation examines the concept of the intelligent ledger – a new model where banks move beyond simply managing transactions and selling traditional products, towards intelligent platforms that use data and technology to better understand and support customers. They also discuss why this transformation is happening now, the growing impact of agentic AI and tokenised money, the potential role of quantum computing, and why banks that move too slowly risk being overtaken by more agile competitors. With The Intelligent Ledger designed as both an explanation of technological convergence and a practical guide for banking leaders, the episode explores what banks need to do today to prepare for the financial services landscape of 2032.
