7. What are the data,
talent, and money
requirements for the
application?
Ease of
Deployment
The particular ability
granted to a business
through the use of an AI
technology or tool (Ex:
Conversational
interfaces)
How credible is the ‘AI
talent’ in a company?
Expertise and
Funding
The business department
or divisions into which
the AI capability is being
applied.
Does this application
deliver a financial
return, or is it
speculative?
Evidence of
Returns
The kind of technical AI
approach is behind the
product offering (Ex:
Natural language
processing).
AI Approach Capability Functions Type of
BankingTT
AI Vendor Segmentation
What is the extent of
real-world product
adoption for each AI
technology and
vendor?
Evidence of
Adoption

10. ● Banking communications and press releases show
conversational interfaces accounting for 38.87% of the
AI use-cases at banks.
● Emerj's AI in Banking Vendor Scorecard and Capability
Map found conversational interface vendors score lowest
in terms of funding and the AI talent they employ (2.4 out
of 4.0).
● Compliance, Risk Management, Fraud and
Cybersecurity AI applications account for the vast
majority of banking funds raised by AI startups, despite
few claimed use-cases within banks.
Misconception
11. ● There is nothing more hyped in the AI in banking
landscape than chatbots.
● Chatbots are easy to deploy in a “sandbox”, and banks
want to brag about customer-facing applications.
● This is what we call “The Lens of Incentives”: Enterprises
talk about AI applications that make them look good in
the eyes of their customers and investors, not the AI
applications where they are actually investing in most.
Takeaway 1:
12. ● The low-hanging fruit for near-term AI ROI in banking
can be summed up as: Anomaly detection
● Finding stand-out patterns in a sea of noise is the perfect
use-case for machine learning. Fraud, cybersecurity and
compliance-related tasks fit this bill perfectly, and they
are the best-funded AI functions in banking today.
● This is often the best place for a bank to begin an AI
initiative, because IT teams, IT budgets, and existing
automation initiatives are often strong within the
compliance and fraud function.
Takeaway 2:
13. ● 61% of AI vendors are in USA
● UK accounted for 15.5%
● Other countries nominal
AI Vendor - Geo Analysis
● Of the $2.5 billion dollars raised by
US banking AI vendors
● 56% raised by companies in CA

16. ● Newer and smaller AI banking vendors are the most
likely to exaggerate their AI claims.
● This is for two primary reasons:
○ Unestablished firms have less to lose by lying and
exaggerating
○ Smaller firms with less experience drastically
underestimate the barriers to AI adoption in banking
● Lesson: Unless you want to be a guinea pig, work with
companies that have a track record and existing
use-cases in banking (not in other sectors). Look for firms
who have raised $30MM or more).
