Authors : Boukhors Ahmed Amine .

Abstract

This study analyzes the strategies employed by banks to integrate and adopt artificial intelligence (AI) within their operational processes. A comparative approach was applied to Bank of America and Morgan Stanley, using secondary data from the banks’ websites and reports from specialized financial media. The findings indicate that each bank follows a distinct strategy shaped by its business model and customer base. Bank of America emphasizes enhancing the customer experience through a comprehensive smart application, while Morgan Stanley prioritizes supporting its experts and staff with specialized AI tools. These results confirm the study’s hypothesis that AI adoption strategies are influenced by both the business model and customer characteristics, highlighting the increasing role of AI in improving operational efficiency and the quality of financial services.
