Citigroup has launched "Citi AI," a powerful suite of artificial intelligence tools aimed at enhancing internal operations across its global workforce. Initially introduced to staff in Hong Kong, the AI tools are now available to approximately 150,000 employees in 11 countries, including the United States, India, and Singapore, the bank announced on Thursday.
Designed to improve productivity, Citi AI supports various tasks such as retrieving information from Citi’s internal policy library, summarizing documents, and drafting electronic communications. These AI capabilities are intended to streamline workflows and optimize day-to-day banking operations.
Aveline San, CEO of Citi Hong Kong and Macau and head of banking, emphasized the alignment of these initiatives with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s push for responsible AI adoption in the financial sector. Citi plans to roll out the technology to additional markets later this year.
The introduction of Citi AI comes at a time when the bank is actively reshaping its technology strategy. Last week, Citi reportedly began cutting up to 200 IT contractor roles in China as part of a shift to hiring in-house talent for enhanced data governance and risk management.
As AI adoption accelerates across the banking industry, Citigroup’s move highlights a broader trend of financial institutions integrating generative AI to improve efficiency, reduce operational costs, and maintain regulatory compliance. With Citi AI, the bank joins a growing list of global financial leaders leveraging AI to drive digital transformation and strengthen internal infrastructure.
