influenced by worldwide occurrences, like regulatory changes, financial reforms,
technological disruptionsand
advancements, demographics, sociopsychological factors, healthcare developments, global trade dynamics, and
geopolitical events. Consequently,banks
are making substantial investments and ramping up funding, particularly
in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), to mitigate the risk of
disruptions. With the pandemic experiences, AI has been broken down for better
management into Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL) and Generative AI. Tools and
companies are proliferating at an astonishing rate evolving in the Banking
ecosystem since 2021. In this research, the key trends currently driving
adoption of Generative AI in the Malaysian Banking Sectors are investigated using a
