The Humanoid Banker - Science Fiction or Future?

The ongoing debate about robots and artificial intelligence eliminating jobs calls for dramatic shifts in the way financial services will be delivered. And yet, the banking profession hasn't really changed much in the last few years, and new technologies haven't caused radical disruption (yet). Nonetheless, I believe change and a high-tech approach are inevitable. Change might just take longer and will happen in rather unexpected ways. There is a lot of hype about robots and artificial intelligence (AI) taking our jobs, and for many observers, especially bankers, Frankenstein's monster is still present in their minds.
