Financial Firms Prepare for Shift to Generative AI in 2024

Financial institutions are gearing up for a monumental transition to generative AI in 2024, moving from experimental mode to a systematic, cross-enterprise pursuit of value. The technology's impact on businesses demands a fundamental overhaul of digital core, workforce, and organizational culture. Despite challenges, the democratization of generative AI technology presents opportunities for firms to catch up, provided they make strategic choices. However, successful implementation necessitates a comprehensive strategy touching every facet of the value chain and a long-term program enabling continuous reinvention. Selecting from a variety of AI models along with understanding the crucial role of the cloud will be pivotal. Preparatory work, such as data organization, fostering a culture of curiosity and experimentation, ensuring the necessary skills, and responsible AI implementation, is also imperative for realizing the full potential of generative AI.
