**Singapore, Sept. 16, 2024** – Harvard Business School (HBS) has published a case study on DBS Bank’s pioneering approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI), showcasing the bank’s successful implementation of AI across its operations. This case study, authored by HBS Professor Feng Zhu, is the first of its kind to focus on an Asian bank’s AI journey.

DBS has been actively integrating AI into its operations since 2014, leveraging the technology to enhance customer experience, boost employee productivity, and drive business value. The bank has implemented over 800 AI models across 350 use cases, which are projected to generate over SGD 1 billion in economic impact by 2025.

Notable examples of DBS’s AI implementation include:

* **Personalized Financial Nudges:** AI-powered recommendations for customers to make better investment and financial planning decisions.
* **Enhanced Relationship Management:** Providing relationship managers with deeper insights into customer needs for more effective engagement.
* **Tailored Career Development:** Developing personalized career and upskilling roadmaps for employees, fostering long-term career growth within the bank.

DBS CEO Piyush Gupta emphasizes the transformative potential of AI, stating, “AI is shaping up to be an absolute game changer in the way we live and work.” He highlights the bank’s commitment to navigating the emerging landscape of Generative AI while managing associated risks.

The HBS case study will be used in various MBA programs and executive education courses, highlighting DBS’s success in leveraging AI for business transformation.

DBS’s commitment to AI has earned it recognition in the global arena. The bank was ranked #1 for AI Strategy Leadership in the Global Evident AI Index in 2023 and received the Global Model Bank Award for AI Industrialisation from Celent in 2024.
