## Resource

Financial institutions are investing heavily in AI, but a new report shows that 95% of them arent aligning their AI projects with business goals. Only 5% are successfully using AI to boost profits, cut costs, and reduce risk. The report highlights that focusing on responsible AI practices, like fairness and data security, is a bigger driver of return on investment than chasing the latest generative AI tools. Most leaders believe that responsible AI standards are key to seeing real financial gains. The day-to-day systems for building and monitoring AI models are also lagging, with only 12% of organizations having fully integrated AI operational standards. The research suggests that collaboration between business and IT, along with shared AI platforms, is the way forward to boost ROI.
