That’s exactly what the full article is talking about. People need to read, man!
Another interesting tidbit: “Most banks have authorized or are moving in the direction of allowing read-only access, which should allow agents to see customer financial information without taking action.”
Imagine if AI forces more and more services to require in-person interaction to authorize transactions and things… AI brings back the bank teller! AI creates traditional jobs! That would be ironic.
