About This Book
In an era of AI hype, The AI Inflection Point – Volume 1: Financial Services separates reality from noise.
This book analyzes $500 million in real-world AI deployments across seven production-grade case studies from leading FinTechs and financial institutions. Each case is built on verifiable, evidence-based data — not anecdotes or vendor marketing.
The book explores how foundation models, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and AI agents are rewriting finance operations, risk management, and compliance. Every claim is documented through an Evidence Ledger with source citations, methodology disclosures, and reliability ratings.
"This is your AI playbook — not a press release."
