Background of the Study
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly emerged as a transformative tool in various sectors, including finance. AI applications in fintech (financial technology) have revolutionized business operations, enabling firms to make more data-driven, accurate, and timely decisions. In fintech, AI technologies such as machine learning, predictive analytics, and natural language processing are used to automate decision-making processes, enhance customer experiences, and improve risk management (Stern & Roberts, 2023). AI allows for better segmentation, pricing models, fraud detection, and overall service personalization, which can significantly impact a fintech firm's ability to compete in a rapidly evolving market.
In Kogi State, fintech firms face challenges typical of emerging markets, including limited access to data, financial literacy, and infrastructure constraints. Despite these challenges, AI presents a unique opportunity for fintech firms in the region to enhance their strategic decision-making processes. However, the specific impact of AI on strategic decisions, especially in emerging fintech firms in Kogi State, remains under-researched. Understanding this impact could provide insights into how AI can be leveraged to improve strategic outcomes in the local fintech sector.
