At the Future Banking Forum Karachi 2026, industry leaders called AI the "only pathway" to meaningful financial inclusion for Pakistan's 250 million people. AI can genuinely help, credit scoring via alternative data, fraud detection, cheaper digital services, and chatbots, but people are unbanked for reasons (trust, ID, income, literacy) that AI alone can't fully solve. It's a powerful tool, not the whole answer.
