AI in Financial Services

From the largest firms trading on Wall Street to banks providing customers with fraud protection to fintechs recommending best-fit products to consumers, AI is driving innovation across the financial services industry.

New research from NVIDIA found that 78 percent of financial services professionals state that their company uses accelerated computing to deliver AI-enabled applications through machine learning, deep learning or high performance computing.

The survey results, detailed in NVIDIA’s “State of AI in Financial Services” report, are based on responses from over 500 C-suite executives, developers, data scientists, engineers and IT teams working in financial services.

AI Prevents Fraud, Boosts Investments

With more than 70 billion real-time payment transactions processed globally in 2020, financial institutions need robust systems to prevent fraud and reduce costs. Accordingly, fraud detection involving payments and transactions was the top AI use case across all respondents at 31 percent, followed by conversational AI at 28 percent and algorithmic trading at 27 percent.

There was a dramatic increase in the percentage of financial institutions investing in AI use cases year-over-year. AI for underwriting increased fourfold, from 3 percent penetration in 2021 to 12 percent this year. Conversational AI jumped from 8 to 28 percent year-over-year, a 3.5x rise.

Meanwhile, AI-enabled applications for fraud detection, know your customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) all experienced growth of at least 300 percent in the latest survey. Nine of 13 use cases are now utilized by over 15 percent of financial services firms, whereas none of the use cases exceeded that penetration mark in last year’s report.

Future investment plans remain steady for top AI cases, with enterprise investment priorities for the next six to 12 months marked in green.

Overcoming AI Challenges

Financial services professionals highlighted the main benefits of AI in yielding more accurate models, creating a competitive advantage and improving customer experience. Overall, 47 percent said that AI enables more accurate models for applications such as fraud detection, risk calculation and product recommendations.

However, there are challenges in achieving a company’s AI goals. Only 16 percent of survey respondents agreed that their company is spending the right amount of money on AI, and 37 percent believed “lack of budget” is the primary challenge in achieving their AI goals. Additional obstacles included too few data scientists, lack of data, and explainability, with a third of respondents listing each option.

Financial institutions such as Munich Re, Scotiabank and Wells Fargo have developed explainable AI models to explain lending decisions and construct diversified portfolios.

Executives Believe AI Is Key to Business Success

Over half of C-suite respondents agreed that AI is important to their company’s future success. The top total responses to the question “How does your company plan to invest in AI technologies in the future?” were:

  1. Hiring more AI experts (43 percent)
  2. Identifying additional AI use cases (36 percent)
  3. Engaging third-party partners to accelerate AI adoption (36 percent)
  4. Spending more on infrastructure (36 percent)
  5. Providing AI training to staff (32 percent)

However, only 23 percent overall of those surveyed believed their company has the capability and knowledge to move an AI project from research to production. This indicates the need for an end-to-end platform to develop, deploy and manage AI in enterprise applications.

Into the Omniverse imagery with an egocentric car view and industrial factories.

Editor’s note: This post is part of Into the Omniverse, a series focused on how developers, 3D practitioners and enterprises can transform their workflows using the latest advancements in OpenUSD and NVIDIA Omniverse.

Industrial AI, digital twins, AI physics and accelerated AI infrastructure are empowering companies across industries to accelerate and scale the design, simulation and optimization of products, processes and facilities before building in the real world.

Earlier this month, NVIDIA and Dassault Systèmes announced a partnership that brings together Dassault Systèmes’ Virtual Twin platforms, NVIDIA accelerated computing, AI physics open models and NVIDIA CUDA-X and Omniverse libraries. This allows designers and engineers to use virtual twins and companions — trained on physics-based world models — to innovate faster, boost efficiency and deliver sustainable products.

Dassault Systèmes’ SIMULIA software now uses NVIDIA CUDA-X and AI physics libraries for AI-based virtual twin physics behavior — empowering designers and engineers to accurately and instantly predict outcomes in simulation.

NVIDIA is adopting Dassault Systèmes’ model-based systems engineering technologies to accelerate the design and global deployment of gigawatt-scale AI factories that are powering industrial and physical AI across industries. Dassault Systèmes will in turn deploy NVIDIA-powered AI factories on three continents through its OUTSCALE sovereign cloud, enabling its customers to run AI workloads while maintaining data residency and security requirements.

These efforts are already making a splash across industries, accelerating industrial development and production processes.

Industrial AI Simulations, From Car Parts to Cheese Proteins 

Digital twins, also known as virtual twins, and physics-based world models are already being deployed to advance industries.

In automotive, Lucid Motors is combining cutting-edge simulation, AI physics open models, Dassault Systèmes’ tools for vehicle and powertrain engineering and digital twin technology to accelerate innovation in electric vehicles.

NVIDIA Virtualizes Game Development With RTX PRO Server

NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs centralize compute infrastructure for content creation, AI, engineering and quality assurance, delivering workstation-class performance at data center scale for game studios.
March 10, 2026 by Paul Logan

Game development teams are working across larger worlds, more complex pipelines and more distributed teams than ever. At the same time, many studios still rely on fixed, desk-bound GPU hardware for critical production work.

At the Game Developers Conference (GDC) this week in San Francisco, NVIDIA is showcasing a new approach to bring together disparate workflows using virtualized game development on NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers, powered by NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs and NVIDIA vGPU software.

With the RTX PRO Server, studios can centralize and virtualize core workflows across creative, engineering, AI research and quality assurance (QA) — all on shared GPU infrastructure in the data center. 

This enables teams to maintain the responsiveness and visual fidelity they expect from workstation-class systems while improving infrastructure utilization, scalability, data security and operational consistency across teams and locations.

Simplifying Complex Workflows

As game development studios scale, hardware can often sit underutilized in one location while other teams wait to access it for production work. QA capacity is hard to expand quickly. Over time, workstation hardware, drivers and tools diverge, making bugs harder to reproduce. AI workloads are often isolated on separate infrastructure, creating more operational overhead. 

The NVIDIA RTX PRO Server helps studios move from workstation-by-workstation scaling to centralized GPU infrastructure. Studios can pool resources, allocate performance by workload and support parallel development, testing and AI workflows without expanding physical workstation sprawl.

Centralized GPU infrastructure enables studios to run AI training, simulation and game automation workloads overnight, then dynamically reallocate the same resources to interactive development during the day, improving overall utilization and reducing idle capacity.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO Server supports virtualized workflows for 3D graphics and AI across the game development lifecycle for:

  • Artists: Providing virtual RTX workstations for traditional 3D and generative AI content-creation workflows.
  • Developers: Powering consistent, high-performance engineering environments for coding and 3D development.
  • AI researchers: Offering large-memory GPU profiles for fine-tuning, inference and AI agents.
  • QA teams: Enabling scalable game validation and performance testing using the same NVIDIA Blackwell architecture used by GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs.

This allows studios to support multiple teams — including across sites and contractors — on one common GPU platform, improving collaboration and reducing debugging issues that can arise from disparate hardware.

Supporting AI and Engineering on Shared Infrastructure

AI is becoming a core part of everyday game development, spanning coding, content creation, testing and live operations. As these workflows expand, studios need infrastructure that can support AI alongside traditional graphics workloads without introducing separate, siloed systems.

With the RTX PRO Server, studios can support coding agents, internal model experimentation and AI-assisted production workflows without spinning up a separate AI stack for every team.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPU features a massive 96GB memory buffer, enabling developers to run multiple demanding applications simultaneously while supporting AI inference on larger models directly alongside real-time graphics workflows.

NVIDIA Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) technology partitions a single GPU into isolated instances with dedicated memory, compute and cache resources. Combined with NVIDIA vGPU software, MIG can help studios securely allocate GPU capacity across users and workloads. In combined MIG and vGPU configurations, a single RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPU can support up to 48 concurrent users, maximizing utilization while maintaining performance isolation.

Enterprise-Ready Deployment for Game Studios

NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers are designed for enterprise-grade data-center operations. Studios can deploy virtual workstations on RTX PRO Servers via NVIDIA vGPU on supported hypervisor and remote workstation platforms.

That means RTX PRO Servers can fit into studios’ existing infrastructure and IT practices, rather than requiring one-off deployments.

Major game publishers already use NVIDIA vGPU technology to scale centralized development infrastructure and improve efficiency at studio scale.
