Dive into the heart of a banking revolution

AI is revolutionizing the banking sector, and the BPCE Group intends to be a major player in this transformation. As Yves Tyrode explains in the podcast, this transformation is built around three key beliefs: AI adoption by employees and clients, the creation of sustainable value through responsible and ethical uses, and a targeted approach to high-potential areas.

Yves Tyrode also discusses topics such as:

  • BPCE’s Key AI Initiatives
  • Innovation & Data Security
  • European Digital Sovereignty
  • Banks’ Role in AI Funding

The progressive and responsible implementation of AI

Groupe BPCE has made AI a central pillar of its VISION 2030 strategic project, adopting a pragmatic and ethical approach based on three pillars:

  • Employee adoption: the Groupe BPCE aims for 50% employee adoption of generative AI by 2026, building on 38,000 current internal users and an ambitious training program.
  • Sustainable and ethical value: the Groupe BPCE prioritizes concrete, responsible AI applications aligned with its values.
  • Targeted approach: investments focus on high-ROI areas like digital customer experience, call center optimization, and advisor tools.

The goal is to leverage AI for enhanced performance and innovation throughout the organization.
