ABSTRACT

Considering the context of the issue based on literature survey and expert opinion, this study investigates the drivers of Artificial Intelligence (AI) implementation, which further strengthens the Business Intelligence (BI) in taking better decision-making industries in India. For the purpose of serving the objective of examining the enablers’ towards having a smarter AI ecosystem in banking, the relevance of identified enablers from exhaustive literature survey were discussed with the experts from banking sector and AI professionals. Based on their opinion, 15 final enablers were defined based on the data collected have been put through Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) that reveals the binary relationship between the enablers to draw a hierarchical conclusion, and then assess the enablers about their independence, linkage, autonomous character, and dependence based on their calculated driving and dependence power through MICMAC analysis. The ISM and MICMAC integrated approaches have been used to establish interdependence among the enablers of AI in banking in India context. The study reveals that strong algorithms result in building quality AI information, and also the efforts from management related to commitment, financial readiness towards technological advancement, training, and skill development are quite essential in making the baking system smarter and would enable the industry to take better management decision.
