As digital technology continues to transform the banking industry, AI and machine learning are playing increasingly significant roles in revolutionizing various applications, from customer experience to security measures. Fintech startups, changing customer expectations, regulatory changes, and technological advancements have driven this digital transformation, enabling personalized services through data analytics and machine learning algorithms.
AI Applications in Finance
AI systems like ChatGPT could be turned into virtual personal finance assistants, while AI tools for sentiment analysis generate insights and predictions for investors. These tools can help decipher monetary policy announcements and provide insights into their potential effects on financial markets. Additionally, AI can analyze financial data to identify patterns that might indicate opportunities or problems, and even build investment portfolios tailored to individual goals and risk tolerance.
Integration of AI and Cryptocurrency
The integration of AI and cryptocurrency can ensure secure and transparent financial transactions through the use of blockchain technology. Smart contracts can automate complex procedures and provide accountability for all parties involved in a transaction. Data integrity is crucial for AI, as these systems require access to enormous quantities of data to train and improve. The integration of AI and crypto is playing a significant role in the movement of financial services from centralized institutions to decentralized networks, allowing individuals to access financial services without intermediaries.
AI-powered Trading and Investment
AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data and provide real-time market forecasts, making it easier for traders and investors to make informed decisions. AI can also be used to automate the trading process itself, further streamlining the investment experience. However, AI tools may not be able to account for unexpected events or changes in market conditions, as well as human behavior.
Kennesaw State’s AI Ethics Lab
Kennesaw State has launched a new research lab, the AI Ethics Lab, in partnership with Equifax. The lab will focus on studying the use of artificial intelligence in the US financial services industry and work to establish methods that will help identify how an AI-powered process may create different outcomes than traditional models and the potential impact of these differences. The lab will study models and create hypotheses to help find and address any unintended disparities, with a focus on privacy, robustness, explainability, and fairness.
