In the simplest sense, Artificial intelligence refers to systems or computers that execute tasks similarly to human intellect and may iteratively improve themselves depending on the data they acquire. AI presents itself in a variety of ways. Several instances include the following:
- Chatbots leverage artificial intelligence to rapidly comprehend consumer issues and give more efficient responses.
- Intelligent assistants leverage artificial intelligence to analyze crucial information from big free-text databases in order to optimize scheduling.
- Recommendation engines can make automatic TV program recommendations based on a user’s viewing behavior.
Artificial intelligence is considerably more about the process and the capacity for superhuman reasoning and data processing than it is about any particular format or function. While AI conjures up visions of high-functioning, humanoid robots wreaking havoc on the globe, AI is not designed to take the place of humans. Its objective is to dramatically improve human capability and contribution. As a result, it is a very valued commercial asset.
Impact :
- Create new types of value: Innovation in products and services will result in increased financial inclusion and a more streamlined, personalized consumer experience.
- Restructure operational models: Financial institutions will become leaner, more connected, and more specialized. Additionally, they will grow more reliant on the skills of huge technological companies.
- Change the competitive dynamics fundamentally: Data sharing will become critical for competitive success. In an increasingly divided market, first movers and large-scale businesses will gain an edge.
- Push public policy into uncharted territory: AI will pose difficult challenges to government and society, necessitating the creation of a new set of rules to protect humans, regulate machines, and reimagine the financial system.
As a result? A significant shift in capability, resources, relationships, and potential. Old ties will be severed. Unexpectedly, more will form. The center of gravity will change, and where it settles will be determined by the decisions made today by stakeholders.
How artificial intelligence is revolutionary
Layer 1: Customer engagement reimagined
To become ubiquitous in consumers’ lives, addressing latent and emergent requirements while offering intuitive omnichannel experiences, banks will need to reinvent their customer engagement and make many significant modifications.
Layer 2: Developing the AI-assisted decision-making layer
Delivering tailored messages and judgments in near-real-time across the whole range of interaction channels to millions of users and thousands of workers will require the bank to establish an at-scale AI-powered decision-making layer.
Across the bank’s areas, AI solutions may either completely replace or supplement human judgment, resulting in dramatically improved outcomes.
Layer 3: Strengthening the Fundamental Technology and Data Infrastructure
Scaling and adapting AI capabilities throughout an enterprise requires a set of basic technological components that are scalable, robust, and flexible. A shaky core-technology foundation, deprived of necessary modernization expenditures, can significantly limit the efficacy of the decision-making and engagement layers.
Layer 4: Migrating to a platform-based operating paradigm
The platform operating model views the bank as a set of platforms comprised of cross-functional business and technology teams. Each platform team is responsible for its own assets (e.g., technological solutions, data, and infrastructure), as well as its own budgets, key performance metrics, and personnel.
In exchange, the team provides a suite of goods and services to the bank’s end clients or to other platforms inside the bank.
Examples of AI in Banking
– Â Kasisto:
- Kasisto’s most significant contribution is its conversational artificial intelligence platform, KAI, which banks may use to develop their own chatbots and virtual assistants. Kasisto has so far provided the backbone for numerous big banking institutions’ AI assistants (including the UAE-based digital bank Liv., DBS Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, and TD).
- The bank’s KAI-powered bot guides customers through the process of making foreign transfers, blocking credit card charges, and connecting them to human assistance when the bot encounters a roadblock.
– Â HooYu:
- Artificial intelligence-powered biometrics—created in collaboration with software partner HooYu—match an applicant’s selfie in real-time to a passport, government-issued identification card, or other official picture identification document.
- That is a normal operating procedure for the digital-only startup banks that have emerged in recent years, but their emergence on the high street demonstrates that consumers’ desire to detach even the application process from brick-and-mortar branches is not a niche request.
–Â Ayasdi:
- Ayasdi’s AI-powered AML combines three key advancements: intelligent segmentation, which optimizes the data-sifting process to generate the fewest possible false positives; an advanced alert system that automatically prioritizes alerts; and advanced transaction monitoring, which employs machine learning to detect suspicious transactions.
- For example, Ayasdi’s AML AI was able to evaluate hundreds of data points (rather than the standard 20 or 30 transaction categories) for Canada’s Scotiabank and Italy’s Intesa Sanpaolo, resulting in a significant reduction in false-positive alerts.
–Â Socure:
- Socure’s identity verification technology, ID+ Platform, analyses an applicant’s online, offline, and social data to assist companies in meeting stringent KYC requirements. The method uses predictive data science to examine if an applicant’s information is being utilized properly by examining email addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, and proxies.
– Data Visor:
- Data Visor’s machine learning counters application and transaction fraud in real-time by utilizing large data sets and so-called clustering methods. The company has a 94 percent fraud detection rate and clients include one of the top 15 banks in the United States.
–Â Feedzai:
- Feedzai is a machine learning platform that assists banks in risk management by monitoring transactions and generating red lights as appropriate. It worked with Citibank late last year to introduce artificial intelligence technology that monitors for suspected payment behavioral trends among clients prior to payments being executed.
- The difficulties posed by the rise of artificial intelligence are many. However, AI is a delicate combination of intelligence and emotion that is always evolving. Artificial intelligence delivers major competitive benefits to banks, financial institutions, and technology enterprises.
- Nonetheless, it has the potential to totally alter and accelerate the financial sector, but only if the financial industry can handle the security risk associated with AI-based systems.
