For example, when BofA launched a digital mortgage, \u2018we could have done a whole bunch of robotics to go and pull data from different places and prepopulate the mortgage application, [but] it probably would have been fraught with error,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Too many organizations are rushing into AI without considering the full implications of the people element, according to Bessant. \u201cIt is time that we re-balance the discussion from being driven by the creators and the sellers of artificial intelligence to being balanced with the user perspective,\u201d she says. \u201cThe discussion has been dominated by the sellers. Flip on any one of the morning financial shows and what you see is advertisement after advertisement for large and small-scale technology firms that are pushing the notion of data and modeling and that AI will help. Generally, society seems sold that artificial intelligence is better than we are as humans.
