Introduction

In modern world, artificial intelligence refers to technology that is able to mimic human cognitive skills like problem solving. Banks play a very important role in the growth and development nation’s economy (Alt et al., 2021; Amin, 2022). It is considered as a life blood of present world economy because it handles finance, money related matters and other credit transactions. Banking industry provide financial assistance in the growth of small and larger industries. It helps customer in tracking where expenditure over savings and motivate them to save money and own interest for a better future. To perform all these activities, the bank started using computer in 1970’s and they further started using diverse channels using latest technologies such as ATM’s, mails, telephone banking, online banking, mobile banking. Today banks have started adopting latest cutting-edge AI technology in their work processes. AI emerging technologies help the banks in integration of various work flows understand previous patterns and reduce processing time of routine assignments. In near future the entire banking industry is expected to use artificial intelligence technology in their operational processes. As per McKinsey Global survey high- performing companies who have employed AI technology, have reported higher revenues and reduction in cost as compared to other companies. Implementing RPA (Robotic Process Automation) standardizes various complicated banking task such as credit card processing and mortgage lending documentation process. Machine learning has the ability to perform like a human mind by thinking for itself. It can perform various activities like learning, speech recognition, perception, planning, reasoning, problem solving, and also the ability to operate and decide on its own. The key purpose of adopting AI technology in the banking sector is to get valuable insights into the customer preferences, to ensure that the customers are satisfied with the bank services and help the customers understand their expectations from the banks Figure 1.

Results

This systematic literature review included 54 research articles that were analysed for quantitative data. The analysis of the literature showed that most of the studies were conducted in past 15 years. The trend chart showed that there is a gradual increase in research related to Artificial Intelligence technology in banking industry. The studies that were included in the study focused on AI applications in banking industry such as predictive analysis, fraud detection, customer satisfaction, use of chatbots, robo advisors, portfolio management and many others. Most of the studies have mentioned about artificial neural network, expert system, robotic automation and machine learning as part of AI technology (Alhaddad, 2018).

AI is transforming the traditional conventional methods of banking. AI based systems are used for designing automated software programs that streamlines the fraud diagnosis and data management in banking. Mostly counter work such as account opening, amount deposit and withdrawal, ATM handling can be handled better with AI systems (Ameenet al., 2021). AI has completely revolutionised finance industry making decisions of financiers more accurate and systematic and their job easier (Belanche et al., 2019; Daqar & Smoudy, 2019). In this systematic review authors analysed numerous studies on the diverse applications of AI technology in Banking and evaluated their role in field of fraud detection, Predicting bank accounts in future.

Limitations of the Study

Despite the fact that this is one of the few detailed systematic reviews on Artificial intelligence applications in banking industry, the present review has some potential limitations. The review does not cover the unpublished literature and papers published in language other than English. Also, most of the review belongs to AI technology use in Banking industry of developed nations.

Conclusion

To summarise, AI applications described in the research articles of this systematic literature review showed numerous practically useful banking applications at customer end and bank staff end. Few applications such as identification of fraud at an early stage, risk management, enhancing employee performance due to automation and smoother work processes, virtual chatbots, predictive analytics. AI applications are helping bankers in diverse ways leading to technical efficiency and improved financials. Few authors have also tried to establish the point that AI technology has bring revolution in banking industry in last few years. Past article have shown that AI powered technology in banking has shown tremendous results in various situations. Several authors have concluded that AI systems bring superior value to the bank by improving the fraud detection techniques, enhancing customer satisfaction levels, predicting the future trend from past data in systems and also automating the routine bank assignments. AI is showing incalculable gain because it shall help bank professionals in diagnosing cyber risk, by improving the security system with introduction of robo alerts and early fraud detection mechanism. It further helps the bankers in predating the credit default by analysing the financial statements and evaluating the real time data. Studies also revealed that these automated systems are of great value as it enhanced technical efficiency of employees and improves the financial parameters of bank. Though AI is widely used in financial industry in developing nations but still its growth is lacking in Indian banks.

However, given the limitation of the study future research can be concluded with larger sample size of articles to assess the applicability of Artificial intelligence technology in banking sector. Future research can also include data analytics and other emerging applications of AI in banking field. Also, future research can be made on opportunities and threats linked to AI technology use in Banking industry.
