with customer engagement and retention.
The existing recommendation system was
underperforming, leading to low conversion
rates and customer dissatisfaction.
Case Study - Finance
• Nexus Financials was grappling with
increasing credit card fraud incidents,
which affected customer trust and caused
substantial financial losses.
Ethical Considerations
• Bias in ML Models: Ensuring AI systems
are trained on diverse, representative
datasets to avoid inherent biases.

• Privacy Concerns: Managing how


personal data is used in AI systems to
respect customer privacy.

• Transparency and Accountability:


Developing explainable AI systems and
their decisions can be audited.
