At Thinking Ahead, our latest fireside chat series 'Charting AI in the Investment Industry' explores how the investment landscape is evolving as artificial intelligence accelerates at an unprecedented pace. 

In our latest episode, Roger Urwin, Co-founder of Thinking Ahead, and Sue Brake, Chair of the Board at Dragonfly Thinking and former CIO of Future Fund, sit down with Louisa Minter-Kemp, Communications and Engagement Lead at Thinking Ahead. Sue has spent the past six months building over 60 AI agents in practice, and the conversation is as candid as it is practical. 

She opens with a striking claim: she would not attempt a Total Portfolio Approach transformation today without AI. Not because it speeds things up, but because AI brings something no human committee member can: no need to belong, no fear of conflict, and no hesitation to point out the problem in the room when everyone else stays quiet. 

The conversation spans a beliefs agent built to surface the disagreements investment committees avoid, a live systems map that changed how she thinks about risk, and what months of deep AI use does to your instincts. Her closing note is both exciting and sobering: organisations are too fully occupied to free up the people who most need this time, and the window to act is shorter than it looks.
