Background of the Study
Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven voice recognition technologies are increasingly being utilized to enhance customer experiences and operational efficiency in various industries, including banking. In the context of financial transactions, voice recognition has emerged as a tool that can authenticate and authorize financial transactions without the need for traditional authentication methods, such as PINs or passwords. Voice recognition systems can provide both enhanced security and convenience, enabling customers to carry out transactions quickly and safely using their voice commands (Patel & Patel, 2023).
In Nigeria, where banking security is a major concern, particularly with the rise of online and mobile banking, AI-driven voice recognition offers an innovative solution to combat fraud and streamline financial processes. Kano State, a commercial hub, is home to many banking institutions that serve both urban and rural populations. Despite the potential advantages, the adoption of voice recognition technology in the banking sector in Kano State has not been widely studied. This research will evaluate how banks in Kano State have implemented AI-powered voice recognition systems for financial transactions, the challenges faced, and the benefits derived from its usage.
Statement of the Problem
The increasing number of financial frauds and the complexity of online transactions have made security a top priority for banks worldwide. In Kano State, many banks still rely on traditional security measures such as passwords and PINs, which are often vulnerable to theft. AI-driven voice recognition could provide a more secure and efficient means of processing transactions, but its adoption in Nigerian banks, especially in Kano, remains low due to various challenges, including cost, technological infrastructure, and lack of awareness. This study aims to evaluate the current use and impact of AI-driven voice recognition technologies in banking transactions in Kano State, focusing on its effectiveness in reducing fraud and improving customer service.
Objectives of the Study
To assess the adoption and application of AI-driven voice recognition technologies in banks in Kano State.
To evaluate the impact of AI-driven voice recognition on transaction security and customer experience in Kano’s banking sector.
To identify the challenges faced by banks in Kano State in adopting AI-driven voice recognition for financial transactions.
Research Questions
To what extent have banks in Kano State adopted AI-driven voice recognition technologies for financial transactions?
How has the adoption of AI-driven voice recognition impacted the security of financial transactions in banks in Kano State?
What are the challenges faced by banks in Kano State in the implementation of AI-driven voice recognition technologies?
Research Hypotheses
Banks in Kano State have not significantly adopted AI-driven voice recognition technologies for financial transactions.
The adoption of AI-driven voice recognition technologies has not significantly improved transaction security in banks in Kano State.
Challenges significantly hinder the adoption of AI-driven voice recognition technologies in banks in Kano State.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on banks in Kano State that have either fully or partially integrated AI-driven voice recognition technologies. Limitations include a potential lack of data from institutions that have not adopted such technologies or are hesitant to share implementation details.
