Financial institutions want to adopt agentic AI, but their reality includes COBOL, legacy software and systems, and strict regulation.
In two new interviews, Daniel Wolff, VP and Global Head of the Google Cloud Center of Excellence and Business for Financial Services at Capgemini, explains how the economics of legacy modernization are shifting, and Aaron Wanjala, Java Developer Advocate at Google Cloud, shares the engineering practices that help AI adoption stick in established codebases.
Together, their perspectives show that AI adoption depends on more than what the technology can do. Organizations must identify suitable use cases, work within the constraints of existing systems, and account for risk in regulated environments. These broader industry challenges are closely connected to the direction we’ve announced with JetBrains Air.
