One of the current and most basic objectives for AI at banks is a reduction in time “wasted” on any task that can be automated. AI technologies are serving banks well in the realm of robotic process automation (RPA) for rules-based tasks, such as entry, validation, and manipulation of data, as well as creation, uploading, and exporting of data files.
