As AI Use Cases Mature, The Focus Shifts to Humanizing AI

Artificial intelligence is emerging as the most impactful jump in technology evolution since the World Wide Web. Financial institutions have been on the forefront of adopting analytics and AI and its latest evolutions such as GenAI are no exception. The potential of these new technologies to enhance productivity through automation, augment staff to focus on value-generating activities, transform customer experiences, and improve and scale analytics in risk-, compliance-, fraud-, and cybersecurity to counter adverse actions is sheer limitless.

Overview

As AI matures, the focus shifts to humanizing its integration and interaction. This necessitates a cultural revolution beyond technology, embracing social, ethical, and regulatory considerations. IDC emphasizes responsible AI governance, ensuring ethical deployment and regulatory compliance, including data protection and civil rights.

The conference will explore how financial institutions adapt to AI advancements, emphasizing use cases, risks, and strategies to achieve business objectives while mitigating challenges posed by more powerful AI and potential cyber threats.

Why Attend?

The 8th edition of IDC Financial Forum in Romania will highlight the widespread adoption of Gen AI throughout various parts of organizations within the financial services industry.

These new developments won't change FSI's purpose, but will transform its operations.
