[AI accelerates penetration into the securities industry and digital transformation enters the application stage] November 12th: Recently, a number of listed securities firms responded to issues related to AI empowerment at the third quarter performance briefing meeting, and wealth management has become a high-frequency application scenario. At the same time, the application of AI in investment research, institutional trading, investment banking, compliance risk control and operations management continues to expand. The digital construction of the industry has gradually entered the stage of business process transformation and practical application. Industry insiders believe that AI can help improve investment research production efficiency, expand customer service coverage, and optimize operational processes. However, whether technology investment can generate stable operating benefits still needs to be tested through indicators such as service quality, business efficiency, and revenue contribution.
