ING outlined a three‑pronged AI roadmap aimed at rapidly scaling agentic AI across its core business lines—contact‑center operations, know‑your‑customer (KYC) processes, and retail customer interactions. The bank plans to embed advanced AI models that can autonomously handle routine tasks while delivering personalized experiences, positioning AI as a paradigm‑shifting capability. A central pillar of the strategy is a unified, globally accessible AI platform that consolidates all agents, models, and supporting technology. By housing safety controls, governance, and responsible‑AI frameworks in one place, ING seeks to ensure consistent compliance across jurisdictions while achieving economies of scale. The platform will serve every country and business domain, simplifying deployment and maintenance. To operationalize the technology, ING is rolling out a data‑fluency program that trains staff on effective prompting, result validation, and critical thinking when using AI outputs. Leadership development will focus on navigating an AI‑driven environment, ensuring executives can steer strategy and risk management. The initiative emphasizes both technical adoption and cultural change. If executed, the roadmap could deliver faster customer service, reduced fraud, and lower operational costs, while mitigating AI‑related risks through centralized oversight. Upskilling employees ensures the workforce can leverage AI responsibly, giving ING a competitive edge in a rapidly digitizing banking sector.
