McKinsey Report Highlights Banks' Challenges in Realizing AI Benefits Due to Legacy Systems

A McKinsey report finds that banks are not realizing the full benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) despite significant investments, due to reliance on outdated systems and legacy operating models. While AI tools like voice bots and real-time analytics promise cost reductions and improved customer service, many banks automate inefficient processes without addressing root causes of customer issues. The report emphasizes that success depends more on redesigning operating models than on technology alone.
