Mathematical Examples
- Cost Reduction by AI: If a bank spends ₹2 crore annually on manual customer support, and AI reduces this cost by 40%, savings = ₹2 crore × 40% = ₹0.8 crore.
- Loan Processing Time: Manual processing time = 10 days. AI reduces this by 70%. New time = 10 × (1 - 0.7) = 3 days.
- Fraud Detection Accuracy: Manual accuracy = 80%, AI-enhanced = 95%. Accuracy increase = 95 - 80 = 15%.
- Customer Service Efficiency: AI chatbot handles 5000 queries/day. Human agents handle 50 queries/day. Equivalent agents saved = 5000 / 50 = 100 agents.
- Transaction Cost: Cost per transaction manually = ₹5; AI-based = ₹1. Savings per transaction = ₹4. If 10 lakh transactions are done monthly, monthly savings = ₹4 × 10,00,000 = ₹40,00,000.
