AI has many use cases and is a very broad area. AI has been used in finance since the rise of computers and the internet through automated systems. From trading to originating loans, AI is not new to finance. As LLMs have become the main focus over the last few years, there are a lot of wild predictions and fear of missing out. While LLMs and great at simple tasks and those with low risk, they are not actually thinking and need a lot of engineering around them to make them useful. They are also great at taking unstructured text data and images and turning them into structured data for more traditional methods such as math, logic, programming, statistics, and machine learning. I see there being a big lift in automating common tasks however the core of a business and where it has a competitive edge will continue to be done through non-AI methods. Don't get me wrong, implementing AI as a cost saving approach to common tasks can be an edge but it shouldn't be the main focus of your business.
