A free webinar hosted by Woodhurst
This webinar will explore the potential for banks and building societies to harness AI agents in ways that enhance customer experience and safeguard those at risk of harm. We will consider how generative AI can be designed and deployed to support individuals who may be vulnerable temporarily, situationally, or permanently, ensuring they receive the care, attention, and guidance they need.
Our speakers will examine the role of AI in helping financial institutions to better identify vulnerability, escalate concerns appropriately, and provide tailored support at moments that matter. At the same time, we will explore the inherent risks and ethical considerations, addressing how firms can balance innovation with responsibility when deploying AI in sensitive customer journeys.
Key Themes to be Discussed:
Join us for this timely discussion to uncover how generative AI can be harnessed responsibly to create more inclusive, ethical, and effective customer experiences. Together, we will explore how the financial services sector can ensure that no customer is left behind in the age of AI.
