With AI, banks can better protect their customers' accounts, secure payments, improve return on investments, and personalize content, investments, and next-action recommendations for their customers. These AI-enabled services were also the top use cases for AI found in the NVIDIA "State of AI in Financial Services" survey of C-suite leaders, managers, developers and IT architects in the global financial industry: fraud detection, portfolio optimization, and sales and marketing enablement. The growing capabilities of AI and increase in available data mean that financial firms need to execute an AI strategy, or risk being left behind their competitors.
