Hybrid Minds: Unlocking The Power of AI + IQ

Chris D’Agostino,  

Chief Data and AI Officer at FIS

In this episode of Hybrid Minds, host Vahe welcomes Chris D’Agostino, Chief Data and AI Officer at FIS, for a wide-ranging conversation on the application of AI in enterprise environments. Chris draws on leadership experience from Databricks, Capital One, and FIS to unpack how large-scale financial platforms are evolving with LLMs, agent frameworks, and real-time decision engines. Chris explains how his teams are deploying AI to refactor legacy systems, automate back-office operations, and develop agentic capabilities across global financial infrastructure. All while navigating compliance and risk. The conversation also explores deeper themes: the future of software as adaptive systems, the ethical limits of AI empathy, and how digital workers may reshape the future of labor itself.

This episode is essential listening for enterprise architects, engineering leaders, and AI strategists building intelligent systems at scale.
