The Next Decade of an API Strategy in an AI World - Panel Discussion
summary
Panelists argue APIs become the transaction fabric for AI: banks put LLMs behind APIs for decisioning, audit trails and rate limits, and fintechs already monetize credit‑rating and payment calls; APJ paid ChatGPT users rise from 3.6% to 7%. Vendors ship AI features—IBM cites Anthropic partnerships, an API agent that discovers/creates APIs, Watsonx orchestrate and hybrid integration—and enterprises build LLM/AI gateways, observability, consent controls and cost‑tiering to prevent hallucination, data leakage and agent sprawl.
