Host: Federico Dotto, Banking and Financial Risk Manager, PwC
This masterclass explores how Generative AI is reshaping banking and redefining sustainable business models. It positions GenAI as the next structural shift in a twenty year digital evolution, moving beyond automation toward systems that understand, create, and adapt.
Using examples from leading global/US banks, the session shows how AI powered tools enhance advisory services, compliance, underwriting, and operations while improving quality, speed, productivity, and cost efficiency. It also highlights how key functions such as Finance and Wealth Management are evolving toward AI augmented workflows, where human expertise focuses on higher value decision making and client engagement. In parallel, the session addresses the main risks and regulatory considerations associated with AI adoption, highlighting the importance of governance and responsible deployment in a rapidly evolving environment.
The session concludes with a practical framework for winning the AI race, highlighting the critical areas of the banking business model that future leaders must prioritize.
