Clean data's key, the lifeblood of AI, As quantum leaps with nano-innovations dance, In gene-spliced futures, new worlds we'll spy, While ethics guard our technological advance.

Businesses must adapt or fade away, Embracing risk and AI's transformative might, O'Neill's wisdom lights the coming day, Where human and machine in harmony unite.

So heed this call, let Future Finance guide, To prosperous tides on which we'll proudly ride.
