The growing impact of artificial intelligence on financial institutions

SGT

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) will be a source of disruption for financial institutions (FIs), with dramatic changes to howFIs function, new risks, and additional consolidation in the industry.It is essential that FIs ride this trend to remain competitive, given that fintechs are building digital platforms that gather data to support the implementation of AI.
 

The adoption of AI-based technologies and processes will increase the demand for data, with the value of FIs determined by how they acquire and manipulate data. There is a need for FIs to gather large amounts of data, as well as to ensure theappropriate storage and processing of data according to the rules of Big Data, to leverage AI. This requires the use of parallel computing or the implementation of advanced software within their own data centres. FIs may even utilise cloud providers, raising concerns of data privacy.

The use of AI in the operations of FIs will help in cost reduction and the more accurate assessment of credit default risk. This will help in the differentiation from competitors, as FIs deploy algorithms and the latest machine learning methodologies to processes data and data from alternative sources.The digitisation of end-to-end operations raises the threat of fraud and cyber risks, which necessitates the use of AI in customer-facing applications as well as the back end. AI can even be used to help Compliance functions, given the increasing complexity of regulations.
