5 things every bank should know about AI before making their next technology investment
What's happening
Banks are being told to treat AI as more than just models and chatbots: orchestration, governance and data are emerging as the hard problems. Sources say the differentiator will be how AI is used and orchestrated across systems (additiv CEO Michael Stemmle), not volume of AI implemented; governance, accountability and clear decision ownership matter for readiness (Decentriq CEO Maximilian Groth); trading desks still struggle because market data, not chatbots, is the core challenge (Quantum Signals CEO Yianni Gamvros); and fraud is becoming more convincing and scalable as AI embeds in commerce, forcing institutions to balance innovation with member protection.
