Telang said that there are challenges faced by Wells Fargo when implementing Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning can help work around anti-money laundering and fraud. This is the reason why banks are adopting these technologies. However, these technologies come with their associated problems.
The Wells Fargo Vice President further added that the banks had tapped these emerging technologies. However, they still need to establish use cases which can facilitate the betterment of existing procedures and applications such as databases.
The banking sector is considering blockchain technology. Wells Fargo also wanted to adapt not to be left behind in case any problem occurred. Thus banks invested in the blockchain technology with the recurrent payment use case. However, he said that apart from that, they have not found any game-changing use case.
According to Mike, the technologies are like a double-edged sword for banks where they cannot accept or leave them entirely. They cannot go for all the use cases, and neither throws all, especially the use cases which impact customers.
