AI is already helping organizations automate routine tasks, analyze data and improve customer experiences. People are also using AI for daily tasks like drafting emails, comparing products, planning trips and accessing quick summaries of unfamiliar topics. But AI’s next wave of value may come from a more human-centered role: helping people make sense of complex decisions and processes when guidance is hard to find, too expensive or stretched thin.From applications that require dense paperwork to decisions involving health, finances, benefits or career paths, many people don’t need AI to choose for them—they need help understanding their options and next steps. Below, members of Forbes Technology Council share unexpected ways AI can make difficult processes easier to navigate and explain why these use cases can have such a meaningful impact.

Post-quantum cryptography is moving from a future security concern to a practical planning issue for organizations. Quantum computers powerful enough to break widely used public-key encryption aren’t here yet, but the risk is already relevant, since attackers can collect encrypted data now and decrypt it later when the technology catches up. NIST finalized its first three post-quantum cryptography standards in 2024, giving organizations a clearer path forward, but migration won’t be as simple as swapping in a new tool. Below, Forbes Technology Council members share practical steps leaders can take now to strengthen cryptographic agility and prepare their systems for a post-quantum future.

Bank-fintech partnerships often begin with big ambitions, but many never move beyond the pilot stage or produce meaningful enterprisewide impact. A promising use case may open the door, but long-term success usually depends on whether both sides can navigate integration challenges, compliance demands and internal decision-making well enough to turn early momentum into lasting business value. Scaling these partnerships takes more than innovation alone. It requires the right mix of strategic alignment, operational readiness and accountability across the organizations involved. Here, members of Forbes Technology Council share how stakeholders can ensure bank-fintech partnerships grow beyond pilot programs and deliver measurable results.
