Zopa: AI to automate banking, threaten finance jobs

Generative AI is poised to revolutionize the banking industry by delivering an estimated 1.8 billion in cost savings by 2030, driven by substantial investments that promise a 100% return on investment. This technological shift is primarily impacting back-office operations and core banking processes, leading to increased automation and efficiency, but also threatening approximately 27,000 finance jobs, according to a report by Zopa and Juniper Research.
