The summit also marked several major milestones. Alongside the unveiling of ALLaM, the world’s most advanced Arabic Language Model, other diverse initiatives such as the Global AI Community, the THAKAI Platform, and guidelines for addressing deepfake technology.

Furthermore, the launch of the Generative AI Center of Excellence by the Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO), the agreement to open an International Center for AI Research and Ethics (ICAIRE) as a UNESCO Category 2 Center, further underscored the impact of GAIN 2024.

The summit itself provided the platform for companies from all over the world to showcase the latest AI technologies and innovations, including AI generated avatars, AI generated artwork, and even Robotic bar staff serving beverages.

The summit closed with an inspirational speech from the Director of Saudi Arabia’s National Information Center, His Excellency Dr. Esam Alwagait, in which he thanked participants:

“Your candid perspectives have not only inspired us with the vision of what lies ahead, but have also grounded us in the realities we must face. Together, we have not only imagined the future of AI, but have also made it real by addressing the challenges and identifying the enablers needed to truly unlock its potential.”

He added:

“It has been incredibly inspiring to see the world come together here in Riyadh, united by momentum to make AI work for everyone. The commitment to collaborative action has been evident throughout the summit.” 

The success of GAIN 2024 ensures that the Kingdom’s AI infrastructure will be significantly strengthened and has cemented Saudi Arabia position at the center of global AI.

Forrester: Mobile Banking Innovation Gap Widens In Australia Amidst Rising Customer Expectations

Leave a comment

Only two of the big four Australian banks, Westpac and CommBank, offer personalized features that proactively anticipate customer needs

SYDNEY, Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) Digital Experience Review™: Australian Mobile Banking Apps report, 75% of Australian online adult banking customers have used their mobile banking app in the past month, up from 59% in 2022. Yet most customers who used their bank’s mobile app give it a Customer Experience Index (CX Index™) score of just OK, and only 63% agree that their bank offers mobile capabilities that meet their needs.

To gauge the ease and effectiveness of mobile banking experiences, Forrester evaluated the smartphone apps of the “big four” Australian banks: ANZ, Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CommBank), National Australia Bank (NAB), and Westpac.

Key findings from Forrester’s review include:

  • Westpac leads with innovative features. Westpac emerged as the leader for the second year in a row. The bank’s app excels in money movement and account management, introducing personalized features that keep customers informed about their budget usage and spending limits. CommBank stood out as a close second, offering automated savings capabilities that reduce the cognitive load on its customers.
  • Some Australian banks have made significant strides, but overall mobile banking has stalled. Only two of the four banks, Westpac and CommBank, introduced new, personalized features that anticipate customer needs over the past year. Weak spots include the use of customer context to offer actionable insights that help customers manage their money.
  • Customers’ expectations are rising. Australian banks do the basics well, but the gap between leaders and laggards is widening as customer expectations rise. Australian banks need to invest in industry best practices that are table stakes now — for example, customers’ ability to manage their accounts digitally, improving search to help customers find and make sense of their transactions, offering real-time contextual help to resolve critical issues, and leveraging emerging technologies to deliver improved experiences.

“Given the widespread use of mobile banking apps in Australia, banks should consider investing in features valued by their customers,” said Zhi-Ying Barry, principal analyst at Forrester. “While there are some bright spots, there is a huge opportunity for Australian banks to invest more in emerging technologies such as generative AI and conversational AI to anticipate their customers’ needs and offer more personalized financial advice and solutions.”
