## Resource

In an interview on Mira Business FM, Gündebahar highlighted that while banks are deploying AI co-pilots, automated underwriting, and hyper-personalized customer bots, legacy backend systems struggle to keep pace with real-time demands. He emphasized that for AI to deliver true value, banks must adopt modern, API-first, microservices-based, and composable core architectures capable of supporting real-time data streaming and instant triggers.
