Abstract

Over the past decade, artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbot technologies have quietly reshaped the way customers interact with retail banks. What began as a push for digital convenience has become a broader transformation of the customer service experience. This paper takes a closer look at how banks are using AI-driven chatbots to respond more quickly, offer personalized support, and reduce operational costs. While these technologies bring clear advantages—such as handling routine inquiries and freeing up human staff for more complex issues—they also raise important questions around trust, privacy, and the emotional depth of customer interactions. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated digital adoption, making these tools more relevant than ever. But for AI to truly succeed in this space, it must do more than just work efficiently—it must work well with people. This research explores the opportunities and limitations of AI in retail banking and suggests that the future lies in thoughtful collaboration between human insight and machine intelligence
