Given a world of fast-paced data intake and customer expectations of real-time, drawing insights and making decisions faster are critical paths to building timely and contextual relevance with customers. Join Murli Buluswar, Head of Analytics - US Personal Bank at Citi, to learn how delivering preemptive solutions though leveraging next generation technologies increases operational efficiency. Murli will discuss how to use conversational Generative AI to increase democratization of intelligence and reduce the friction between data, insight, decision, and outcome.
