Hi Hunter,

Robots have been used in banking and other financial streams (like the stock) for a very long, long, long, long, long, long and one more long time. most started to get an “advantage” or hit the “fountain of wealth” and at least publicly no one has made it yet.

within the evolution of these robots you had more the part of scheduling tasks to optimize delivery (when you have milliseconds to buy or sell is critical), and of course in the passing of time and more BI (and tons of BS), systems have better predictability than before…

Now the new trending of Fintech being cool and so many startups and ideas that are revolutionizing the way bankers do business… (until they see the bill), has that emotional effect on Artificial intelligence coming to the banking era, but many things need to happen in order for this to really be implement and the question is if we want it to happen.

biometrics: do you really want to give your fingerprints to a really cool startup with young cool kids playing ping pong in their office with a back poster of “GOD created Grass, and therefore we smoke it”

AI customer support: i guess it will be same, just a faster answer “a representative will call you back as soon as we know what to do”

Disruptive Technologies: well we pay with our phones, soon with other “smart devices”, Medtech is leaping forwards with Nano techs, so pretty sure you will be able to stick something somewhere and pay while doing something

The decentralized networks: the ledgers and the coins, and monopoly money… a statement that currency or money has no value (in GOD we Trust or something of that effect)

disclaimer i work in fintech and the above is just some late night sarcasm, all examples are true, there is a development on such fashion … i do not judge because some are brilliant people, and “THIS ONE” is just not IT, but it can base for it

enjoyed your piece

peace
