Customers Bank is making significant strides in integrating artificial intelligence, highlighted by its CEO Sam Sidhu using an AI clone to deliver prepared remarks on a recent first-quarter earnings call. This innovative approach underscores the bank's commitment to leveraging AI for operational transformation.
The bank has established a multiyear collaboration with OpenAI, which includes the AI giant embedding engineers to assist in automating critical processes like lending and client onboarding.
