Generative AI in Banking: Benefits, Outcomes, Use Cases

Yes, you are right. I wanted to use the ChatGPT trend to generally discuss the possibility of integrating AI into banking use cases. But if we're talking about personalization, we're not just talking about offers. The first experience of using ChatGPT shows that it takes into account the context and history of requests, moreover, in some cases, it shows more empathy and patiently explains details that ordinary clerks usually ignore.

But with the adoption of AI in everyday life specialization will increase and secure banking solutions will emerge, and we will be forced to change regulations to ensure progress and improve customer experience I believe.
