Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer merely a complementary technology in financial services, but a systemic factor that is fundamentally reshaping the sector. The use of AI creates efficiency and new business opportunities, but at the same time poses serious dilemmas for service providers in terms of maintaining profitability and preserving trust. On the one hand, the study examines from the service provider’s perspective how agent-based systems are transforming sources of profitability, how they are increasing competitive market pressure, and what risks the transformation of pricing and revenue models may entail for banks, payment service providers, foreign exchange market participants, and lenders. On the other hand, it also provides insight into the individual perspectives of users. The analysis points out that although the integration of AI increases efficiency and competitiveness in the short term, in the longer term the weakening of traditional revenue structures and fluctuations in social trust may result in systemic challenges. The research emphasizes that the key to sustainable development is building trust, adapting to regulatory frameworks, and strengthening inclusive financial services.
