AI BREAKTHROUGHS

UBS

🏦 UBS deploys AI avatars to replace analyst videos

The AI Daily: Swiss banking giant UBS is now using AI avatars of its analysts to make research videos for clients, replacing traditional video shoots with fast, on-demand AI-generated content.

The details:

• 36 analysts from tech, consumer goods, and energy sectors joined the avatar program that started in January.

• UBS uses tools like OpenAI and Synthesia to write scripts and create videos in seconds, then edits them before sending to clients.

• Before, UBS could only make 1,000 analyst videos a year due to studio limits, even though analysts wrote 2 notes per week.

• The videos look and sound like each analyst and are based on their latest research.

• UBS plans to fully automate the system by the end of the year, so videos are made right after each research note is published.

Why it matters: UBS is meeting client demand for more video content without needing extra studio time. This AI approach could change how banks share research, especially in different languages, thanks to quick translation with avatars.
