This accelerated adoption of AI has proven to be a lucrative venture, with banks experiencing a significant rise in revenue. According to Stocklytics.com, AI is projected to augment banking revenues by a staggering $301 billion by 2030.

In 2023, the banking industry saw a substantial increase in earnings, with AI contributing $143 billion. The momentum is expected to continue, with 2024 projected to bring in approximately $164 billion in AI-driven revenue. North America stands to benefit the most, with an estimated $49 billion in AI revenue for 2024.
