FinTech Showcase Brings Insights on Leading-Edge Solutions

On April 15, 2024, bankers and FinTech vendors came together for WBA’s second annual FinTech Showcase. The full-day event opened with a keynote session on harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) by Charles Potts, EVP and chief innovation officer at ICBA. Potts covered three important aspects of preparing for an AI-driven future:

• Invest in Training: upskill employees to work alongside AI tools.
• Collaborate with Tech Firms: Partner with AI innovators for best solutions.
• Stay Updated: Keep abreast of the latest AI trends and technologies.

“I now use ChatGPT more than I use Google Search.” – Charles Potts
