How AI is affecting this role
- ›Using ChatGPT to convert a 45-minute unstructured interview with a Branch Manager into a formatted 'As-Is' process map and a list of pain points in under 5 minutes.
- ›Leveraging GitHub Copilot to write complex SQL queries to analyze Non-Performing Assets (NPA) trends based on natural language instructions, bypassing the dependency on the IT data team.
- ›Automating the generation of UAT test cases directly from Jira user stories using AI, ensuring 100% requirement coverage and reducing test prep time by 70%.
Ways to survive
- ›Manually validate every AI-generated requirement against specific RBI circulars to prevent hallucinations that lead to compliance fines.
- ›Focus heavily on 'Elicitation'—conducting face-to-face workshops where emotional intelligence is needed to uncover the real business needs behind what stakeholders say they want.
Ways to get ahead with AI
- ›Learn to build 'Agent Workflows' using tools like Make or n8n that trigger emails to customers when loan status changes, connecting the email system to the Core Banking System API.
- ›Use data analysis AI to predict the impact of a new feature (e.g., 'Instant Disbursement') on system load before development begins, presenting these findings to leadership to prove technical feasibility.
