The AI Playbook for Bankers: Navigating Strategy, Risk, and the Future of Finance

The ability to understand and harness AI is rapidly becoming the defining factor that separates banking market leaders from those left behind.

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future consideration — it is reshaping every facet of banking today, from risk management and regulatory compliance to customer engagement and operational excellence. The AI Playbook for Bankers is your practical guide to navigating this paradigm shift with clarity, strategy, and confidence.

Distilled from a landmark Elite Bankers' Club seminar on "The Role of AI and Machine Learning in Strategic Decision-Making", this e-book preserves and extends the invaluable insights of Shri Sunil Soni — former CGM of Punjab National Bank and Member of the Grievance Appellate Committee at MeitY — whose unique blend of top-tier banking experience and technology governance expertise provides a remarkably clear framework for this complex domain.
