Dubai, United Arab Emirates – While banks have made significant progress in leveraging AI in risk management and sales and marketing, the applications of AI are widespread across departments, especially in compliance, where financial institutions are struggling to cope with rising global expectations on combatting AML and CFT. These were the thoughts of Mr. Abhishek Gupta, Managing Director of Sutra Management, in the recently concluded conference titled Middle East Banking AI & Analytics Summit.
He mentioned that digitization journeys have leveraged robotic process automation as a key theme in the last couple of years. Future AI would expand the number of machine learning models and embed that intelligence into smarter processing that leverages robust machine learning models and unstructured data to make those robotic process intelligent, precise, and efficient.
The conference, organized at ‘The Address, Dubai Mall’ was attended by large financial institutions like FAB, DIB, EmiratesNBD. It also saw confluence of major solution providers like Altair, DataIKU, Datarobot, and Thetaray to name a few. Also gracing the occasion were renowned keynote speakers such as Raja Al Mazrouei (Top 100 women in Fintech) and Sonia Wedrychowicz (seasoned banker and McKinsey & Co. partner)
