Throughout 2024, Morgan Stanley has tapped AI to improve efficiency and deepen the relationship between advisers and customers, Jeff McMillan, head of firmwide AI, previously told BAN. 

The firm has launched the following AI-driven tools: 

• Morgan Stanley Debrief, which takes notes on an adviser’s behalf; and 

• Morgan Stanley Assistant, which helps advisers conduct research within Morgan Stanley’s database. 

Along with discussions around generative AI, the summit will explore how to identify efficiency initiatives and what’s new in digital assistants. It will also feature the Demo Challenge, during which startups will give live technology demonstrations of their cutting-edge tech.
