How is AI transforming Bloomberg, financial markets, and the future of the Bloomberg Terminal?

Recorded live at AI4 2026 in Las Vegas, Sanjay Puri speaks with Emanuel Bettelheim, a senior product and AI leader at Bloomberg, about how one of the world’s most important financial information platforms is using AI agents, generative AI, and decades of proprietary data to transform how financial professionals work.

Emanuel explains why Bloomberg’s AI strategy is about much more than choosing the right model. With hundreds of billions of new data points flowing through the platform every day, Bloomberg is building the systems, knowledge graphs, evaluation frameworks, citations, and deterministic tools needed to make AI outputs reliable and trustworthy for mission-critical financial decisions.

The conversation explores Agentic AI, AI in finance, responsible AI, AI governance, financial data, AI model selection, knowledge graphs, AI costs, BQL, MCP, the future of the Bloomberg Terminal, and why human judgment remains essential in financial markets.
