With AI dominating much of the treasury conversation, Evaldas Balkys took a different approach when designing the agenda for the Baltic Treasury Conference, choosing not to feature it as a standalone topic. Speaking live from the event floor at Treasury 360° Europe in Luxembourg, Eleanor Hill (TMI) explores his perspective on how treasurers should be approaching the technology.
Discussing both the opportunities and challenges AI presents, Balkys explains where human judgement and business context remain essential, why responsibility for treasury policy should remain with those who understand the organisation best, and how treasurers can begin experimenting with AI through practical analytical use cases. He also examines the risks associated with AI agents, security concerns and increasingly sophisticated AI-driven workflows, highlighting why understanding the technology is becoming just as important as using it.
