When I think of a hospital I think of fear and bad vibes. Patients are afraid of staff, and staff are scared of being sued. We think of aloof doctors and under-appreciated administration. Vulnerable patients are abrasively stuffed into a system that doesn't want them there.

Nationwide, which banks 15 million customers in the UK, has enlisted AI from analytics firm SAS to analyze customer interactions more effectively and resolve issues earlier, per Finextra.
Nationwide's deployment of AI comes amid growing digital transformation efforts from incumbent lenders as they look to reduce operational costs and improve how they service customers.
