"I don't think any software business is going to sit still. Any business that sits still in the world of AI will ultimately fail. We're leaning in very hard on integrating software at an enterprise level-frankly, an industrial-strength, secure level-to bring that to the industry."
"Our financial industry needs precision; they need complete accuracy. And that includes battle-tested systems that are highly secured and able to integrate very complex workflows. AI empowers that when integrated properly."
"Nasdaq has evolved into a large-scale software and technology provider for the financial industry. Nasdaq has 10,000 employees worldwide, and about half are in product and technology. We're integrating AI into its systems to make financial operations more efficient and secure."
Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman argues that AI represents a transformative catalyst for software businesses, not an existential threat. Companies that fail to adapt and integrate AI will ultimately fail in the competitive landscape. Nasdaq itself exemplifies this evolution, transforming from a stock exchange into a major software and technology provider for the financial industry, with half its 10,000 employees focused on product and technology. The company is integrating AI into its systems to enhance efficiency and security, including tools like Settlement Guard that predict settlement failures and help firms save billions. Friedman emphasizes that the financial industry requires precision, accuracy, and battle-tested, highly secured systems capable of managing complex workflows, which AI enables when properly integrated.
