AI innovations are transforming both the embedded finance platforms and B2C E-Commerce
Within the embedded finance ecosystem, AI innovations such as Generative AI (GenAI), Large Language Models (LLMs), and deep learning are reshaping platforms like Square, Shopify, and Amazon. Future developments encompass biometric authentication, customized financial advice, and dynamic risk management, among others.
Moreover, AI’s role in B2C E-Commerce is highlighted, with AI, AR, and VR enhancing customer experiences and shaping purchasing decisions.
