Two years after the technology burst onto the scene, adoption remains decidedly mixed. Here’s why—and how banks can course-correct.
With its promise of innovation and net new revenues, generative AI initially seemed like a banking paradise. Instead, early use cases have emphasized productivity—and fallen far short of the promised land. So far, too few proofs of concept make it into production; “PoC fatigue" has set in.
How do banks course-correct and pivot to gen AI that boosts the bottom line?
The answer is deceptively simple: focus. Amid the frenzy, maintaining clear direction is key to operationalizing gen AI and rolling out a consistent flow of high impact use cases backed by a system that makes them happen. This targeted approach balances the risks of gen AI with the technology’s potential for innovation. It starts with data and then creates an enabling infrastructure and governance organized for the long term. Most important, it never loses the human element.
Despite banking leaders’ optimism about gen AI’s revenue opportunities, most outcomes to date have been underwhelming. While it’s good news that 63% of financial services companies have moved gen AI use cases into production, according to a recent survey, it’s sobering that 35% are still merely evaluating or testing use cases. Equally worrisome, of those who are using gen AI in production, just over half report increased revenue as a result.
Additionally, banks and financial services firms face a range of gen AI-related challenges, from inadequate technology infrastructures to talent shortages. IT and business leaders alike worry about product stability given the frequent release of gen AI product updates. In the US, where federal regulations have yet to be issued, banking leaders have expressed concern about safe, secure use of the technology.
While the financial services sector faces unique constraints, it’s not alone in its gen AI challenges: Gartner predicts at least 30% of gen AI projects will be dropped after the PoC stage by the end of 2025 due to poor data quality, inadequate risk controls, escalating costs, or unclear business value.
While models come and go, gen AI only makes sense when you start with outcomes and relevant data. The early focus on use cases and experimentation with PoCs is shifting as banks struggle with how best to put gen AI into production and extract business value.
There are four keys for banks seeking to operationalize the technology and pave the way for a continual flow of high-impact use cases:
Financial services leaders need to both focus and think bigger. Even though we’re in the early days of gen AI, a down-to-earth, pragmatic approach will get us on the road to real outcomes.
