forecast inflation figures, track the economy and verify regulatory data, among other tasks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve only just begun to explore this technology,\u201d he said. \u201cWith very large and highly disaggregated data sets now available, there is huge potential to use AI to understand how consumers and businesses are behaving and how companies are setting their prices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But is abundant AI really what Canadians want from their banks?<\/p>\n<p>The Meridian survey found that generation Z \u2014 arguably the generation most likely to be comfortable dealing with AI \u2014 would actually prefer speaking to a human as well.<\/p>\n<p>Fifty-six per cent of gen-Zers are concerned about losing a human connection with their bank, while 81 per cent believe serious financial matters should be dealt with by a real employee instead of an AI chatbot.<\/p>\n<p>Most gen-Zers were also more generally frustrated with their financial institution, with 59
