42、ed.PAGE 13 STATE OF AI IN BANKING“AI can now analyze vast amounts of customer data and market conditions to create hyper-personalized services at scale as well as highly targeted marketing strategies to promote these services.”Personalization at Scale AI is enabling retail banks and credit unions to
43、 offer hyper-personalized services and predictive product recommendations based on the analysis of internal and external customer data,behavior patterns,and fnancial need assessment.This level of personalization was previously impossible at scale but is now becoming a reality thanks to AI and machin
44、e learning algorithms.Creating personalized customer experiences is more important than ever as offerings from non-traditional fnancial services organizations include more specialized services based on preferences,fnancial goals and even risk profles.Beyond causing silent attrition from legacy banki
45、ng organizations,these non-traditional players are realizing higher cross-sell rates and are creating loyalty through higher levels of engagement.The good news is that legacy fnancial institutions also have these AI tools(and deeper understanding of existing customers)at their disposal.The Citi GPS
46、report suggests that AI-enabled personalization could also help traditional banks provide more tailored offerings and improved customer engagement.AI-Powered Financial Advice As AI becomes more sophisticated,there will likely be a rise in AI-powered fnancial advisors and potentially even the use of
47、digital twins that can bridge the gap of providing personalized fnancial guidance to retail banking customers.AI-powered advisors could analyze a customers fnancial situation,goals,and risk tolerance to provide tailored advice on savings,investments,and fnancial planning in a more unbiased and immed
48、iate manner than is deployed currently.The Citi GPS report hints at this future,suggesting that“by 2030 or earlier,AI agents could be making fnancial decisions and interacting with banks on behalf of consumers.”While this level of AI autonomy may still be some years away and may be met with some lev
49、el of skepticism by consumers,were likely to see increasing integration of AI into fnancial advisory services in the near term.Advanced Product Development and Marketing As referenced,AI-powered predictive analytics can enable retail banks to anticipate customer needs.This same insight can help fnan
50、cial institutions develop products that better meet those needs.Unlike the past,where every fnancial institution had the same menu of deposit,loan and payment products,AI can now analyze vast amounts of customer data and market conditions to create hyper-personalized services at scale as well as hig
51、hly targeted marketing strategies to promote these services.More importantly,AI can also help banks forecast customer behavior,identify potential churn risks,and suggest product offerings that could reverse damaging attrition.The Citi report suggests that AI could drive“productivity gains for banks
52、by automating routine tasks,streamlining operations,and freeing up employees to focus on higher value activities.”This includes activities like product development and targeted marketing,which can directly impact a banks bottom line.2024 Digital Banking Report.All rights reserved.PAGE 14 STATE OF AI

54、e fraudulent activity.”Expanded Financial Inclusion While not covered as extensively,AI has the potential to expand access to fnancial services for underserved populations by including alternative data sources and advanced risk assessment models.By including the universe of consumers and businesses
55、that currently have thin fles,banks could potentially extend credit and other fnancial services to those previously excluded by traditional banking models.This is already being achieved by many fntech and big tech frms.The Citi GPS report states that AI-powered credit risk assessment models can be c
56、ustomized to specifc customer segments,potentially opening up new markets for retail banks.This could be particularly impactful for people who rent,have service jobs,receive cash payments for work,etc.Dynamic Credit Risk Assessment While the origin of AI in banking was in the risk and fraud monitori
57、ng functions,advanced algorithms are now analyzing vast datasets to evaluate creditworthiness with greater speed and accuracy than ever before.The Citi GPS report notes that“AI-powered credit risk assessment models can now be customized to specifc industries,customer segments or regions,capturing th
58、e needs/behaviors of different groups.”This level of customization allows for more nuanced and accurate risk assessments.In addition,AI can now help banks continuously monitor borrower behavior against macroeconomic conditions,enabling real-time adjustments to risk profles and loan-loss provisioning
59、.This approach to risk management could signifcantly reduce defaults and improve the overall health of loan portfolios.Enhanced Fraud Cybersecurity Capabilities The need for robust fraud and cybersecurity capabilities has never been more critical.As adverse forces continually fnd new ways to negativ
60、ely impact security provisions,AI is improving fraud detection and prevention in retail banking.Advanced fraud detection systems analyze vast amounts of data in real time,identifying suspicious patterns and anomalies that might indicate fraudulent activity.These systems learn from new fraud patterns
61、 and adapt detection algorithms accordingly,with the intention to keep one step ahead of cyber criminals.The Citi GPS report highlights how AI systems are dramatically improving the effciency and effectiveness of transaction monitoring for fraud and money laundering.One area of improvement is in red

66、 information management,coding,and software.”This suggests that AI could transform everything from document processing to software development within banks.Simplifed Regulatory Compliance The regulatory landscape for banks often seems to be playing catch-up with regard to artifcial intelligence.That
67、 said,AI is proving to be a valuable tool in helping banks navigate the complexity of regulatory demands,ensuring compliance across diverse regulations.As with many other back-offce functions,AI can help banks automate compliance processes,reducing the risk of human error and ensuring consistent app
68、lication of regulatory requirements.AI also is nimble,with the ability to quickly adapt to new regulatory changes.According to the Citi GPS report,“Compliance roles have tripled in the US from 2000 to 2023.”Challenges with AI Implementations While the potential benefts of AI in retail banking are si
69、gnifcant,there are also challenges that banks must address:1.Data Privacy and Security:Since AI systems require access to vast amounts of customer data,privacy and security becomes critical.Banks must implement robust safeguards and comply with evolving data protection regulations.2.Ethical Concerns
70、 and Bias:Banks need to ensure their AI systems are designed and trained to be fair and unbiased,avoiding unfair or discriminatory outcomes,particularly in areas like credit decisioning.3.Regulatory Compliance:Banks need to ensure their AI systems comply with existing regulations and be prepared to
71、adapt to new rules as they emerge.4.Lack of Transparency:Banks must avoid advanced machine learning models that act like“black boxes”(where its diffcult to understand how they arrive at decisions).Lack of transparency poses challenges for regulatory compliance and damages trust with customers.5.Skil
72、ls Gap:Implementing and managing AI systems requires specialized skills that are in high demand.Banks need to invest heavily in training and recruitment to build the necessary AI capabilities.6.Fear of the Unknown:Many employees and customers are fearful of the unknown associated with AI.This includ
73、es all of the above challenges as well as the fear of job displacement and/or the lack of human engagement.Ongoing communication with employees and customers regarding how AI will be used(and the impact of AI)is essential.2024 Digital Banking Report.All rights reserved.PAGE 16 STATE OF AI IN BANKING
74、 Recommendations for Retail Banks Based industry research and research by the Digital Banking Report,here are key recommendations for retail banking organizations:1.Develop a Comprehensive AI Strategy:Rather than implementing AI in silos,banks must develop a clear and comprehensive strategy for inte
75、grating Generative AI into the companys operations,including implementation,governance,and risk management plans.2.Prioritize AI Investment:Invest in testing and evaluating different use cases for Generative AI such as fraud detection,virtual assistants,personalized offers,etc.3.Modernize Core Syste
76、ms:Address legacy technology issues to create a fexible,AI-ready infrastructure.4.Focus on Customer-Centric AI Applications:AI use cases that directly enhance customer experience,customer engagement and customer value,such as personalization,improved customer service,and streamlined processes should
77、 be evaluated with potential ROI attached.5.Invest in AI Talent and Training:Build internal AI capabilities through hiring and upskilling programs.Also,familiarize stakeholders with Generative AI and its effects on banking.6.Build Trust Through Transparency:Be open with customers about how AI is bei
78、ng used in banking services.Provide clear explanations and options for human interaction where needed.7.Prepare for AI-Powered Customers:Start considering how banking models might need to evolve in a world where AI agents act on behalf of customers.8.Collaborate and Partner:Consider partnerships wit
79、h fntech companies,third-party technology providers,and even other banks to accelerate AI adoption and innovation.9.Monitor and Adapt:Continuously monitor technological developments,competitive moves,and regulatory changes being prepared to adapt strategies quickly.Catching Up and Moving Forward As
80、the fnancial services industry continues to evolve,retail banks must prioritize catching up with the rapid advancements in AI technology.The potential benefts of AI are too signifcant to ignore,and banks that fail to adapt risk will fall behind their more innovative competitors.That said,any commitm
81、ent to investment in AI must take into account other technology priorities that are relatively speaking low hanging fruit.To move forward,retail banks must build a strong foundation for AI adoption.This includes investing in the necessary technology infrastructure,developing a comprehensive AI strat

88、k management and some limited back-offce automation creating a readiness gap.The potential of AI and Gen AI in banking cant be overstated.According to a recent study from BCG,“Gen AI benefts include a 10-fold reduction in customer inquiry costs,a 25%decline in time spent creating marketing content,a
89、nd a 30%jump in content creation productivity all while improving customer satisfaction and accelerating issue resolution.”Citi estimates that AI could boost banking industry profts by 9%,or$170 billion,by 2028.Some of the readiness gap is related to not fully understanding the technologys potential
90、 or how to integrate it with existing technologies.Other challenges are more structural,such as having the quality and quantity of data or having the time,money,and team resources.2024 Digital Banking Report.All rights reserved.PAGE 20 STATE OF AI IN BANKING CHART 6:Source:Digital Banking Report Res
