- The central bank (Emisor) has played a decisive role in advancing payment systems by creating harmony and offering new services.
- Artificial Intelligence is a natural enabler for the new payment ecosystem, improving efficiency and security.
- AI will not replace humans but will complement them, leading to hybrid systems for fraud prevention and payment processing.
- AI can automate payment routes, making transactions 'invisible' and more convenient for users.
