Personetics, BRD Société Générale to Share Insights on AI and Chatbots at the Inaugural Event of The Digital Banking Leadership Council, Friday, January 27

Newly-formed membership organization brings together financial services executives who are transforming their institutions with emerging technologies.

New York, New York, January 26 – Personetics CEO David Sosna and the Head of Innovation Lab for BRD Group Société Générale, Horia Velicu will speak at the inaugural event of the Digital Banking Leadership Council – a newly-formed organization for financial services executives aimed at preparing members for the upside of a rapidly evolving financial landscape.

Sosna and Velicu will be two of the speakers in the “Chatbots + AI” virtual session, covering advances in artificial intelligence that are giving rise to conversational chatbots, which can provide human-like customer service, transaction assistance, and even financial guidance.

In a recent interview with American Banker, Velicu described plans to roll out a chatbot based on Personetics’ technology at Société Générale, which he will expand upon during the session. At first, the chatbot will solely answer questions for investors in its equity funds. Building on success in this first phase, the chatbot will be extended to retail products like deposit accounts and bill payment and rolled out to other territories. “We aim to handle everything regarding the investment fund experience, starting from subscription, redemption, seeing performance, adding to the position, getting out, receiving alerts and so on,” said Velicu.

The virtual event will take place Friday, January 27 at 2pm EST and is open exclusively to council members.
