AFF Member Stock Discussion

Yep, but my point is the “software” (the AI) isn’t free. The banks will be paying a lot for AIaaS (or some other iteration/combination of XaaS). Ongoing fee for a clod based service or the likes. Big $$$ involved integrating and securely operating it alongside the banking systems.

It's already partly integrated where I work while it has cost $$ we have reduced other software costs to cover it...
 
The other issue is making sure it actually understands the questions and can provide the correct answers. The chat bots used by various companies to date are mostly useless. I typically write my question and then when it replies, I reply with, "speak to human" as many times as is required to make the chat bot go away and a real human join the chat.
 
For “less” (perhaps). The implementation, and ongoing costs aren’t cheap but they might actually be more reliable and than a human also.
Totally agree, quite a few years ago I managed a few programs implementing comprehensive credit reporting. Now I’ve seen more than a few people on here criticising some credit decisions but I must say that I got to see the business cases and hence the evidence that automated systems can be far better at predicting bad risks than humans. And that was 10+ years ago.

No doubt AI can get things wrong too but that’s not really the right question. If you only have two options (human/AI) then AI will win a lot of the time. Personally would prefer AI with some human review but of course that costs, sometimes more than the cost of getting it wrong occasionally. And that’s a business decision (unless you have laws which mandate a human review).
