Today, the focus is on AI transformation and the embedding of AI into the heart of how the bank operates. Instead of launching ad hoc use cases, AI is becoming a core part of the strategy, shaping how products, services, and decisions are designed and delivered. This shift marks an important change: from “quick wins” and isolated pilots to a structured, strategic approach where AI is integrated into the bank’s way of working.
Hiek’s presentation sets the stage for a discussion about the challenges that come with the transformation in this AI driven organization: scaling responsibly, rethinking governance, implementation and being AI-ready as an organization. You are most welcome to join and to share your personal experiences and challenges!
