FAQ

What is Itaú's generative AI initiative?

It is an effort under an \"AI First\" strategy that combines a conversational interface called ia.i with a governance platform called IARA, aimed at delivering generative AI to customers and employees in Brazilian banking.

What is the difference between ia.i and IARA?

ia.i is the conversational interface users interact with, while IARA is the governance platform that regulates AI use and enforces compliance in a regulated banking environment.

Why does this matter for AI teams in the Middle East?

Because it offers a practical example of pairing generative AI with a strict governance layer in a regulated financial sector — the same challenge banks and government institutions in the region face when scaling from pilots to full production.
