Demystifying AI in M&A
In this season two premiere of The Dealist, host Catherine Ford is joined by Jeff Haxer, a partner at Bain & Company, and Ken Bisconti, co-head of SS&C Intralinks, to cut through the misconceptions surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) in mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
The discussion also explores how AI is accelerating due diligence, reshaping virtual data room (VDR) analysis and redefining the balance between human judgment and machine support. “We're starting to see that there's a correlation between frequent M&A transactions and early adoption of AI and shareholder return,” says Haxer, “and we expect that gap to widen over time.”
This episode offers dealmakers practical insights on staying competitive in an era where technology is no longer optional.
Key takeaways:
• AI isn’t just for mega-deals
• AI doesn't understand meaning like humans do — yet
• Early AI adopters see 2-3x better shareholder returns
• The gap between AI adopters and laggards is widening rapidly
