⚠️ Financial services alert: Banks are racing to build AI — but tech gaps are slowing them down 🏦⚙️

CIO Dive reports that banks are doubling down on cloud, cybersecurity, and data investments to unlock GenAI’s full potential:

🔹 72% of firms are scaling generative AI projects
🔹 4 in 5 rank cyber, analytics, and cloud as top priorities
🔹 Yet nearly half are battling data silos and quality issues
🔹 Leaders expect GenAI-driven productivity gains — but returns are uneven

The path forward?
🧠 Build resilient, secure cloud foundations
🔍 Tackle data modernization before scaling AI
🛡️ Invest in governance, access controls, and model guardrails

AI may be the future of banking — but only if the underlying tech can support it safely.
