The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has garnered significant attention globally since late 2022. Major corporations are now recognising the potential benefits that this technology can offer across various industries. Senior executives are prioritising AI and the financial services sector is no exception.
Over the past decade, the financial services industry has been exploring the integration of automated systems to deliver a wide array of financial services. With the advent of generative AI, the industry is now turning its gaze towards the future to explore diverse applications for this technology.
In a recent instalment of our Podcast Series, Dr. Verena Ritter-Döring, a Partner in Frankfurt, engaged in an in-depth discussion on this subject with Fritz-Ulli Pieper, a Salary Partner in Düsseldorf, and Miroslav Đurić LL.M., a Senior Associate in Frankfurt. The conversation delved into the primary applications for AI deployment in financial services, the potential advantages for financial institutions, and the crucial regulatory considerations that need to be taken into account throughout this process.
It is evident that AI has the potential to bring about a revolution in the financial services industry. From streamlining manual processes to offering more personalised financial services, there are countless ways in which AI can benefit financial institutions. However, it is imperative for these institutions to thoughtfully consider the regulatory implications of integrating AI into their operations.
In conclusion, the future of AI in financial services appears promising, but there are significant considerations that must be addressed along the way.
