Today, we are experiencing growth and popularity in the AI industry due to these measures by the Government. Moreover, the AI expenditure will see an exponential growth rate (CAGR) of 39% (Between 2019-25) to US$ 11,781 million by 2025. Another report by NITI Ayog states that the AI sector can potentially add US$ 957 billion or 15% of the current gross value to the country’s economy in 2035.

However, any technology has its downside too. As the Fintech industry deals with money,  data safety is foremost. AI systems can be vulnerable to data breaches, which could lead to the loss of sensitive information. Another thing to note is the fact that the AI models may perpetuate and even amplify biases present in the data they are trained on. . It may lead to prejudiced or biased findings based on the data.

“With the advancement in technology every second and the ongoing changes in the FinTech industry, we may need to understand the ramifications of the same to get ahead of the problems with AI. Relying too much on AI models can be dangerous as they lead to human oversight and decision-making,” shares Alok Kumar Agarwal. AI has great potential to benefit the Fintech industry, but appropriate measures must be taken to mitigate the risk to ensure that AI is ethically used.
