Speed up procedures and approvals Fraud detection Despite the advantages, the use of AI is not without its challenges: Algorithm bias
Algorithm bias
If models are trained on biased historical data, decisions may continue to repeat past mistakes, such as discrimination against certain groups. Lack of transparency
Lack of transparency Privacy and data protection
<Relying on large amounts of sensitive data raises questions about protecting users“ privacy.
Excessive reliance on automation
<In exceptional or complex cases, algorithms may fail to read human context or personal circumstances.

Is AI a replacement or complement?
<According to experts, artificial intelligence does not completely eliminate the role of humans, but rather complements it.
While the machine handles repetitive analytical tasks, the human element still has an important role in final review, dealing with exceptional cases, and communicating with clients.
