Emerging Trends and Innovations
Data analytics and AI are evolving quickly, creating new opportunities across many industries – especially in financial services.
Trends like generative AI, edge analytics, and hyper-automation are helping businesses move faster, make better decisions, manage costs, and find new ways to innovate. Generative AI is revolutionizing content creation, from text to images and even software code. Models like GPT-4 and DALL·E are at the forefront of this transformation, enabling businesses to generate high-quality content efficiently.
Edge analytics processes data closer to its source, reducing latency and bandwidth use, and facilitating real-time analytics and decision-making.
Hyper-automation combines AI, machine learning, and robotic process automation (RPA) to automate complex business processes, improving efficiency and reducing costs. Agentic AI systems, capable of performing tasks independently and collaborating with other AI agents, are becoming more prevalent.

AI in Financial Institutions
Financial institutions are increasingly adopting AI to enhance various aspects of their operations.
AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants now provide 24/7 support, helping people resolve issues quickly and easily. Behind the scenes, AI is also helping assess risk, analyze large datasets, and automate routine tasks – cutting costs and improving accuracy along the way.
At Jack Henry, we’re putting these possibilities into action. initiatives like AI Assist with Conversations and leveraging machine learning (ML) for personalized responses are making it easier to deliver faster, more meaningful support while streamlining operations.
AI Assist helps craft faster, more consistent responses by leveraging suggested answers that understand the problem and provide accurate solutions. It also offers after-hours support, allowing accountholders to resolve some issues directly with AI Assist. Additionally, translating messages into multiple languages helps break barriers for accountholders who don’t speak English, ensuring quick resolution of issues without leaving the conversation.
ML is being used to recreate a financial institution's voice, utilizing public marketing materials, user guides, and real-time images from internal collateral to train the voice based on sentiment.
This approach ensures accurate suggested responses while maintaining data privacy, as personally identifiable information (PII) is used without storing or maintaining the data.
Banno Apps, being core-connected, make Conversations completely auditable and have AI functionality. Every conversation is permanently stored, allowing for external and internal audits, which can be stressful but necessary for compliance.
Turning Possibility Into Progress
The integration of AI and data analytics in financial services is still in its early stages.
As these technologies evolve, they’ll continue to drive innovation, streamline operations, and improve the accountholder experience. Financial institutions that embrace these advancements will set new standards for efficiency, personalization, and service.
