At Money 2020 in Las Vegas, OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar highlighted the prominent role of AI in the banking and finance sectors. She noted that financial institutions such as Morgan Stanley and Bank of America are not just testing AI but have integrated it into their operations. For instance, Morgan Stanley employs AI models to aid wealth advisors in delivering better financial advice. The rapid adoption of AI, alongside its transformative potential for productivity, underscores its imperative role. Friar mentioned the competitive landscape where banks, like BBVA and Klarna, have leveraged AI for enhanced efficiency and customer service. Additionally, the CFO addressed the pricing model of AI access, which can amount to around $2,000 per corporate user, emphasizing that balancing value delivery and operational costs is crucial. OpenAI's focus on providing access through various business models, including tiered pricing and advertisements, reflects their commitment to widespread consumer access. Sarah's insights into the evolving compute requirements and partnerships highlight the path towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The need for strategic planning and investor engagement remains key as OpenAI scales its operations and talent acquisition to maintain its competitive edge. This integration of AI in financial sectors illustrates a pivotal shift towards innovative solutions, transforming how banks operate and serve customers effectively.
