We're proud to announce the formation of the AI Readiness for Financial Services Industry (FSI) Special Interest Group (SIG) as part of its broader pioneering AI strategic initiative. This initiative is tailor-made for financial services organizations to lead the charge into the era of AI-driven innovation.
Why AI, Why Now?
The pace of AI adoption, particularly GenAI in financial services has been nothing short of remarkable. With AI emerging as one of the top themes for 2024, the industry is witnessing a seismic shift towards embracing AI technologies. According to NVIDIA’s State of AI in Financial Services Report, a staggering 91% of financial services companies are already exploring or utilizing AI to drive innovation, efficiency, and customer experiences.
Unlocking Potential, Addressing Challenges
The AI Readiness SIG aims to provide a collaborative environment for industry leaders to collectively develop frameworks and policies designed to enable, safe, trustworthy, and compliant deployment of generative AI technologies. By addressing challenges such as regulation, compliance, trustworthiness and bias mitigation, the SIG aims to support financial services organizations in navigating these challenges together and unlocking the full potential of AI.
