According to a PwC survey, 84% of CEOs believe AI and automation are essential to their business
growth strategy (PwC, 2023). As a previous Assistant Vice President (AVP) in the Banking and
Financial Services sector, my daily life revolved around the rhythm of numbers, charts, and
financial strategies. It’s a world where data and decisions dance together. Yet, recently, I’ve found
myself peering into a realm of innovation that seems more like a symphony of creativity than a
traditional banking landscape: Generative AI.
What is Generative AI?
Generative AI, short for Generative Artificial Intelligence, refers to a subset of artificial intelligence
(AI) that focuses on creating content or data, often creatively or human-like. Unlike traditional AI
systems designed for specific tasks, Generative AIcan produce new content that it hasn’t been
explicitly programmed for. It involves using advanced neural networks and machine learning
techniques to generate content that includes text, images, music, and even videos.
Think of it as the maestro behind chatbots, content generation, and a world of creative possibilities.
Its impact on industries is profound, and its potential for innovation knows no bounds.
Significance Across Industries
The resonance of Generative AIextends far beyond the banking sector. It’s like a virtuoso who can
perform across different stages, from healthcare to marketing, entertainment to logistics. Industry
leaders are recognizing its transformative power. In banking, it can enhance customer experiences
through personalized recommendations and automate routine tasks, allowing our team to focus on more intricate financial strategies. As a banking executive, there are numerous valuable use cases
for Generative AI(Gen AI). For example, let’s examine a recent case study from Morgan Stanley.

Case Study: Catalyzing Transformation and Revolutionizing Customer Support through Generative AIin Banking
Challenge:
A financial institution faced challenges in delivering efficient customer support and managing back-office operations. Frontline staff were primarily engaged in validating offers and client interactions, often lacking quick access to crucial data. The institution also needed to monitor industry developments and respond to semantic queries from public sources.
Solution:
The institution implemented a Generative AIbot trained on proprietary knowledge encompassing policies, research, and customer interactions. This AI solution provided constant technical support, enabling customers to receive assistance at any time. It also empowered frontline workers by granting them immediate access to essential data, significantly improving their interactions with clients. The AI system had the added capability to monitor industry trends and respond to semantic queries, ensuring the institution remained agile and informed.
Result:
The adoption of Generative AI technology led to substantial improvements. Customer support became more efficient with the AI bot addressing inquiries around the clock, reducing operational costs. Frontline workers delivered better service due to their enhanced access to critical information. The AI system’s ability to monitor industry trends and respond to semantic queries allowed the institution to stay responsive and competitive. Overall, this comprehensive solution improved customer satisfaction, streamlined operations, and increased the institution’s agility in the financial industry.
