Iâ(TM)m skeptical that AI will play any major part at banks anytime soon. Banks have very large regulatory and compliance mechanisms that are ingrained in every customer facing interaction. There is zero percent chance AI is allowed to interact with anyone outside of what is already possible with standard script-based automation. The one area I could see it being helpful is documenting existing code. A lot of banks struggle with legacy code that is so poorly documented that no one is exactly sure how its logic works. The other issue is data retention. Improperly configured LLMs could potentially retain and regurgitate personal identifying information, which would lead to a regulatory and compliance nightmare. Even then are you going to section off individual applications from each other so that only authorized users can get info they have access to read? I highly doubt many places have an interest in setting up a segregated AI for every squad or group.

These have become pretty standard in the US so I hopped over to Amazon.co.uk to see if they're standard in Europe (OK, OK, the UK technically split a few years ago but it's still got most of the laws and regulations and will ultimately be subject to them without having a say in them going forward.) I expect most new homes to have USB charging sockets all over the place in the same places they have regular AC sockets going forward soon, and older homes to be slowly retrofitted with them.

When a law does exactly what it's designed to do, that's not a case of it "backfiring".

You honestly expect people to replace a $2 outlet with an USB equipped one at $30? It's cheaper, more convenient and probably safer to stick with a usb wall wart.
