Neural technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, augment human expertise and talent to achieve astonishing things – from self-driving cars to conversational robots. Yet, these technologies are only as good as the humans who build and evolve them. This session explores the best of contemporary human and machine collaboration through the lens of the credit union member experience. Panelists will discuss a range of use cases, including deploying AI, ML and human analysts to battle back otherwise advancing payments fraud.
