India’s central bank said that there’s a potential for an AI system that would initiate transactions through a conversation.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the country’s central bank, has published a press release that floated the idea of using artificial intelligence (AI) on conversational payments in the unified payments interface (UPI), which is an instant payment system developed in India.
According to the announcement, the system will be made available in smartphones and feature phone-based UPI channels. The RBI believes that this will help deepen digital penetration within the country.
As for its language support, it will initially be available in Hindi and English and will be updated to include support for more Indian languages in the future.

On Aug. 9, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao pointed out how AI is starting to create risks from a “video verification” perspective after seeing the quality of an AI-powered avatar that’s very similar to a real person.
Similarly, the music industry has shown that AI-generated voices can sound the same as popular musicians. Because of this, Universal Music Group and Google have reportedly started talks about licensing melodies and vocal tracks of artists to be used in AI-generated songs.
