Artificial intelligence is becoming a priority topic of discussion among citizens, the industry, as well as regulators and policymakers, and with good reason, as it has an immense transformative potential on many levels of social and economic life. In banking, AI can be seen as a powerful tool that provides numerous opportunities for the digital transformation of the sector and the further improvement of the provision of digital financial services, while it can also entail challenges that need to be addressed.
On 14 November, the EBF in partnership with EY will organize an online event to discuss all these aspects of AI and its role in banking, looking into how the technology allows for better, more secure and innovative financials services, what challenges arise from its deployment, and how policy can play a pivotal role in boosting innovation and promoting security. |
