Visa Views: Roundtable discussion dives into role of AI and voice in changing how we pay
Panel of financial industry experts talks about progress, privacy and the need for an interface that feels human.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and voice-enabled technologies have the potential to transform the financial services industry and help customers in extraordinary new ways. Enterprises are already doing more with these technologies than customers realize, as Visa’s head of Innovation, Mark Jamison, found when he sat down with three clients from around the world who are using next-generation technologies in their businesses:

- Jaimee Salmon, Head of Emerging Channels, National Australia Bank Limited

This makes us more efficient while providing better service.
