Although chatbots are the most prominent examples of using AI in banking, there is a world of unseen improvements behind the walls of banks. For example, processing Slovak language in call centers poses unique challenges. How do the banks see the uses of modern AI tools in everyday interactions? What are the possibilities, risks and strategies of using LLMs and generative AI for facing customers without losing their trust? Tune in to Better AI Meetup 13 to find out!

We will be discussing the uses of AI with the specialists from the largest Slovak banks and we will even welcome a guest from the banking regulator to shed light on their stance on using AI in financial services.
