AI adoption can help banks overcome the challenge posed by limited productivity gains, it said, adding that many banks are already adopting such tools. "We feel that about 35-50 per cent of jobs can get reshaped if banks are able to boldly embrace these new technologies, and that will be a prerequisite if the banking sector has to break the sticky cost structures that they've been encountering over the last few years," it
