Asset Managers Are Betting Big on AI in Risk Management, Clearwater Analytics Research Reveals

Sep 2, 2026 by Neel Achary 0 Comments

BOISE, Idaho, NEW YORK, CHICAGO, LONDON and HONG KONG, Sept 2– New research from Clearwater Analytics, drawn from its “GenAI and the Data Divide” study, finds asset managers are extending AI agent into risk management, with almost three quarters (73%) expecting the pace of AI integration into risk management to accelerate in the next three years. That’s a lower number than the near-unanimous confidence firms show in AI generally, and that gap is the story. Even in the one function where caution runs highest, most firms still expect AI’s role to keep growing.

“Nearly every firm surveyed (93%) already treats AI agent integration as important or critical to their operations, and 95% say it’s important to meeting their investment management goals over the next three years,” said Souvik Das, CTO at Clearwater Analytics. “Risk management is where you’d expect that consensus to be hardest to find. That so many firms still expect AI’s role there to grow reveals intentional direction by firms who’ve actually tested it and trust what they’re seeing.”

Investing in the Foundation, Not Just the Technology

The investment backs up the conviction. More than four in five managers expect AI spending to increase by at least 50% over the next 12 months, with 62% anticipating rises of between 50% and 99%, and a further 22% expecting increases of between 100% and 299%. Just under 5% expect spending to stay flat or decrease.

For an industry that allocates capital with precision, firms have decided AI is core infrastructure for risk management. But the investment is running ahead of the foundation it depends on, and that gap is exactly what separates the firms getting this right from the ones still catching up.

Taken together, these findings describe an industry moving AI into the center of its competitive proposition, building the function that plays a defining role in whether they can be trusted with a client’s capital.

“One would expect the most cautious part of the business to move the slowest on something new. This data says the opposite. Firms are leaning into AI in one place they can least afford to get wrong,” continued Das. “Risk management is where a firm’s data has nowhere to hide. A slow report is forgivable. A risk signal built on bad data isn’t. Seventy-nine percent of firms call their data complete, but only 56% call it accurate, and that gap is what decides whether a risk signal can be trusted. The firms closing it are the ones making sharper decisions, with better information than they’ve had before.”

International Round of Negotiations at Cachoeiro Stone Fair generates USD 600 thousand in sales and projects USD 3.9 million for the next 12 months

Sep 2, 2026 by Neel Achary 0 Comments

Preliminary results from the initiative promoted by the project It’s Natural indicate around 60 meetings between Brazilian companies and buyers from the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, and Poland.

International Round of Negotiations at Cachoeiro Stone Fair generates USD 600 thousand in sales and projects USD 3.9 million for the next 12 months

Cachoeiro de Itapemirim (Espírito Santo, Brazil), September 02, 2026 – The International Round of Negotiations held during Cachoeiro Stone Fair 2026 generated around US$600 thousand in immediate business and generated expectations of an additional US$3.9 million in sales over the next 12 months. These preliminary results reflect around 60 meetings between Brazilian natural stone companies and international buyers held on August 26 and 27.

Promoted by It’s Natural – Brazilian Natural Stone, a sectoral project developed by the Brazilian Natural Stone Association (Centrorochas) in partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil), the initiative brought together five buyers from three countries: two from the United Arab Emirates, two from Mexico, and one from Poland.

Overall, 15 Brazilian companies took part in the Round of Negotiations – 13 of them from the state of Espírito Santo, one from Ceará, and one from Paraná: Atlas Mármores, Borchardt, Cajugram, Gramil, Magban, Marbrasa, MGA, Michelângelo, Mineração Agreste, Monte Negro, Nova Aurora, Panorama, Poliex, Santo Antonio, and Terlos Stones.

The Round of Negotiations is part of the internationalization strategy developed by It’s Natural to expand business opportunities for the Brazilian industry and diversify export destinations. The initiative is particularly significant at a time when the sector has been seeking to strengthen existing markets and accelerate the penetration into new markets. In 2025, Brazilian exports of natural stones reached US$1.48 billion, with sales to 132 countries.

According to the manager of the sectoral project, Thiago Fukuda, the initial results reaffirm the importance of creating business opportunities within and outside Brazil. “Our sector has a large export capacity, and we need to keep creating pathways to connect companies with new buyers. When we bring these contacts to a trade show such as Cachoeiro Stone Fair, we allow easier access and increase the chances of turning relationships into business deals,” he says.

Blue Machines AI Launches Project Icebreaker Ahead of GFF 2026: A Sovereign AI Co-Innovation Program for Indian BFSI

Sep 2, 2026 by Neel Achary 0 Comments

Business Wire India

Blue Machines AI, an advanced agentic CX operating system for enterprises, today announced Project Icebreaker, a sovereign AI co-innovation program for India’s banking and financial services sector, ahead of the Global Fintech Fest (GFF) 2026.

Under Project Icebreaker, Blue Machines AI will partner with five financial institutions operating in India – including banks, NBFCs, insurers and fintechs – to implement their most ambitious CX AI initiatives in production. Blue Machines AI’s multi-crore investment will cover access to its platform and proprietary technology, solution architecture, use-case engineering, enterprise integrations, model configuration, guardrails, testing and evaluation, deployment within the institution’s chosen environment, and production go-live support. The agreed platform, engineering and deployment capacity will be provided at no cost to the participating organisations.

Project Icebreaker is aimed at moving complex AI initiatives beyond demonstrations and proofs of concept. Selected enterprises will work with Blue Machines AI to build agentic customer journeys in which AI can understand context, interact with business systems, take permitted actions, and coordinate across digital channels and human teams to drive outcomes end-to-end.

For Blue Machines AI, sovereign AI means enabling enterprises to maintain control over their data, models, workflows and deployment architecture. The platform can be deployed within an enterprise VPC, private cloud or on-premise environment, allowing regulated institutions to operate AI within their security, compliance and data-governance boundaries.

Blue Machines AI’s proprietary technology stack brings together multilingual and Indian-language intelligence, speech-to-text, language and code-switching detection, turn intelligence, agentic orchestration, observability, data redaction and production-inference infrastructure. This enables financial institutions to deploy AI across complex customer journeys rather than limit it to standalone bots or individual channels.

“Production-grade AI in BFSI must do far more than generate accurate responses. It must maintain context across channels, integrate securely with core enterprise systems and operate within clearly defined guardrails. In a regulated environment, guardrails are non-negotiable: every action must be permitted, traceable and auditable,” said Abhishek Ranjan, Chief Technology Officer, Blue Machines AI. “Through Project Icebreaker, we are bringing our sovereign AI architecture, proprietary technology stack and engineering capacity to five ambitious initiatives. It is a step towards enabling Indian financial institutions to lead the next phase of secure, responsible AI adoption at scale.”

Blue Machines AI is inviting CX AI initiatives across acquisition, onboarding, lending, collections, servicing, payments, insurance, claims, renewals, wealth management, grievance resolution, retention and customer support. The proposed initiatives may span voice, chat, web, email and other digital channels and should have the potential to create measurable customer, operational or commercial impact at scale.

For each selected initiative, Blue Machines AI and the participating organisation will jointly define the scope, deployment architecture, integrations, responsibilities, implementation timeline and success metrics.

Financial institutions can submit their CX AI initiatives until 11 September 2026 at project-icebreaker.bluemachines.ai

Business Wire India

Rigaku Corporation, a global solutions partner in X-ray analytical systems and a group company of Rigaku Holdings Corporation (Headquarters: Akishima, Tokyo; President and CEO: Jun Kawakami; “Rigaku”), today announced the launch of the CT Lab HR160, a high-resolution X-ray computed tomography (CT) system for battery, semiconductor devices, electronic components, and advanced materials analysis. The system is developed in collaboration with Excillum AB, the global source for X-ray innovation (Headquarters: Stockholm, Sweden; CEO: David Lindblom; “Excillum”).

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260901074099/en/

Photo: CT Lab HR160 High-Resolution X-ray CT System

CT Lab HR160 combines Rigaku’s X-ray CT imaging expertise with Excillum’s NanoTube N3 X-ray source. Operating at up to 160 kV to support a wide range of sample types, the system achieves true 250 nm spatial resolution — an industry-leading level for CT systems in its class. This enables detailed, non-destructive 3D imaging of fine internal structures and defects that can be difficult to observe with conventional laboratory CT systems.

Its cone-beam geometry allows users to adjust the field of view and resolution without changing the X-ray source, detector, simplifying operation across different samples and imaging requirements. The system is designed for applications such as solid-state batteries, semiconductor devices, multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), and power electronics, where internal inspection plays an increasingly important role in research, development, quality evaluation, and failure analysis.

As electronic components and advanced materials become smaller, more complex, and higher-performing, researchers and manufacturers need analytical tools that can reveal increasingly fine internal features with greater precision. Built on the combined strengths of Rigaku and Excillum, CT Lab HR160 addresses these needs by providing a high-resolution laboratory CT environment that supports faster development, improved product quality, and more advanced failure analysis.

“CT Lab HR160 gives customers a new option for addressing increasingly complex analytical challenges in advanced materials and electronic devices. By providing high-resolution CT capabilities in a laboratory environment, we aim to support faster decision-making across research, development, quality evaluation, and failure analysis,” said Kiyoshi Ogata, General Manager of the Product Division, Rigaku.

“We are pleased to see Excillum’s X-ray source technology integrated into Rigaku’s new CT Lab HR160 system. This collaboration brings together the strengths of both companies and creates new opportunities to support R&D and manufacturing at the forefront of advanced industries,” said Sara Haack, Chief Commercial Officer, Excillum AB.

A New Generation of Filmmakers Is Here: 17 Original AI Films from Flick’s Summer Residency

Sep 2, 2026 by Neel Achary 0 Comments

Business Wire India

What does the Love, Death & Robots look like when a new generation of filmmakers has generative AI at its disposal?

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260901631989/en/

Meet Flick Filmmakers.

Flick Filmmaker Residency Summer 2026 Cohort offers one possible answer.

The latest cohort brings together established storytellers from the traditional entertainment industry, including a former Disney screenwriter and Emmy Award-winning talent, alongside some of the most distinctive emerging voices in AI filmmaking. Together, they created a collection of original short films spanning science fiction, animation, surrealism, drama, and experimental cinema.

Flick Filmmaker Residency is a selective, two-month program supporting a small cohort of indie filmmakers as they create original films using Flick. The program is free to apply to and includes bi-weekly sessions, creative mentorship, free credits, and early access to new filmmaking tools.

Each resident leaves the program with a festival-ready short film and becomes part of the growing Flick Residency alumni network.

The program is already building a track record on the international festival circuit. Films from Flick’s Spring 2026 cohort have received Official Selections and awards at international film festivals, demonstrating that work created with emerging AI tools can stand on its own as cinema, not simply as a demonstration of the technology behind it.

Watch and Apply

The Summer 2026 Residency films are available to watch on Flick TV at flick.art/showroom.

Applications for the Fall 2026 Flick Filmmaker Residency are now open at flick.art/residency.

The Filmmaker Still Matters

The rapid development of generative video raises a larger question for cinema: if increasingly powerful models can produce beautiful images, what becomes valuable?

“Story matters. Editing matters. Performance matters. Sound matters. And above all, the filmmaker’s ability to make decisions matters,” said Zoey Zhang, Co-Founder of Flick.

The technology may be shared.

The films are not.

As generative tools become more powerful and more accessible, Flick believes the defining question of AI filmmaking will increasingly shift from what can the technology generate? to what does the filmmaker choose to do with it?

The Summer 2026 Residency offers an early glimpse of that future: not a collection of AI demos, but authentic stories shaped by the filmmakers behind them.

About Flick

Founded by Zoey Zhang and Ray Wang, Flick is an AI-native filmmaking platform built for creators who care about aesthetics, control, and creative flexibility. The product enables filmmakers to direct AI-generated films through non-linear workflows, cinematic controls, and iterative creative tools — bridging powerful generative models with real-world filmmaking. Flick also operates Flick Filmmaker Residency, an initiative to cultivate the next generation of AI-native filmmakers.

Genefied Appoints Ms. Neha Lakhwara to Lead Investor Relations and Strategy

Sept 02: Genefied, an enterprise SaaS company specialising in supply chain traceability, anti-counterfeiting and loyalty technology, has announced the appointment of Ms. Neha Lakhwara to head Investment Relations & Strategy.

Ms. Neha brings over ten years of experience across legal and investment roles, having worked with startups, founders, investors and VC funds on fundraising, transactions, contracts, compliance and the legal architecture of scaling businesses. That dual vantage point, sitting on both sides of the table, shapes how she approaches a deal: less as a document to be closed, more as a business decision that has to hold up years later.

The appointment comes as Genefied deepens its enterprise base of over 85 large brands and 100+ consumer brands across FMCG, cosmetics, white goods, tyres, pharma and auto ancillaries, while expanding its footprint into new international markets. In this role, Ms. Neha will work directly with the founder on capital strategy, investor engagement, partnership structuring and the governance frameworks that support the company’s next stage of growth.

Commenting on the appointment, Mr. Ayush Jhawar, Founder & CEO, Genefied, said, “As we expand into new markets, the questions investors ask get sharper, and our answers have to match. Neha brings a rare combination: a legal mind that thinks like an investor and an investor’s instinct for what actually holds up in a deal room. Having her to lead Investment Relations & Strategy gives us the discipline to scale without losing the pace we are known for.”
