AI Innovation
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly being deployed by financial institutions (FIs) as the payments ecosystem becomes more complex — and ultimately too complex for humans to effectively monitor. This PYMNTS survey of hundreds of FI decision-makers reveals that many companies are not getting AI investments’ full value, which means their customers in turn are not getting the full benefit. The AI Innovation Playbook series is a rich resource for companies seeking more value from AI investments.
