Why on earth do we need to involve AI in payments?
Just let human society reach equilibrium. We don’t have to keep growing everything until it explodes 🤦♂️

Idk I can see why ai would be useful for payment processing, mainly for validation purposes but I think this is an actually good use for ai. Because there are more things it can help with other than validation purposes. (unlike many other things that unnecessarily use ai)

Why would you need an ai for validation? Why would ai help in this? It would make it WORSE imho @YTZerith

I don’t think they need ai for it at all, but I do think their are benefits. This doesn’t seem to me like they are just aimlessly adding ai for no reason like a lot of companies have previously. Using ai to assist with payment processing is being talked about with companies like Visa and Mastercard for example.
To be fair I don’t exactly know how ai will help with the validation step in payment processing, i more or less brought it up as an example as to why I don’t think they are just adding ai for the sake of ai. (Edit: I also brought it up because it was a talking point in the video when they were directly asked how this might help them.)

I don’t want ai to make payments for me. It freaking SUCKS. If I had money I’d short this company
