Note: This new role could be NCB’s most important role over the next 9 years, especially when human level artificial intelligence may emerge by 2029, according to Kurzweil’s law of accelerating change.

‣ I highlighted in the Gleaner in 2018 (“Artificial Intelligence and the Economy | Utilizing artificial intelligence could aid economic stimulation”), that Ai would have projected earnings of US$1.2 trillion, so far from then. By 2019, that forecast grew to about 15 trillion market cap from AI by 2030, according to Forbes.

‣ As of today, several banks across the Globe are utilizing already to grow their portfolio and revenue. (See references at end of article)

‣ Similar to my Gleaner article “Why Jamaica urgently needs a minister of artificial intelligence” and my medium article “Why USA urgently needs a “Secretary of Artificial Intelligence” Cabinet Member Political Role”, National Commercial Bank, as well as any other field of business which could benefit from Ai (which is reasonably most if not all fields) should adopt an explicitly role for “Manager of Artificial Intelligence”.

‣ The “Manager of Artificial Intelligence” would push for building Ai based ecosystems, including the adoption of mandatory/accredited Artificial Intelligence company courses, as well as other organizational structures like of GPUs/VPUs etc (without which Ai knowledge is not optimally usable), to facilitate Ai development. The manager would also reasonably seek/properly vet & assess new opportunities/engagements from Ai in Finance, in addition to adopting current Ai banking practices.

End note & commendations to NCB:

On February 25, 2021, I posed this suggestion to Ramon Lewis, head of IT at NCB. I anticipate that an explicit role for Ai Management shall be created in a reasonable time frame. I (and probably several others) also advised NCB to adopt practical Ai courses in 2019, and in 2020, NCB had already began to adopt non-accredited, introductory data science courses, although these courses are not mandatory or accredited, which is still commendable so far.

→ Ncb seems to have a high concentration of skilled programmers. Ai adoption at an NCB scale firm could greatly encourage increased local Ai development in general.
