The cannabis industry could undergo a transformative change in banking practices, thanks to the integration of artificial intelligence (AI). AI-powered tools can help cannabis businesses to comply with regulations, improve their security, and access financial services. Embracing AI in the banking sector allows cannabis businesses to navigate financial challenges, propel growth, and establish themselves as key players in this evolving market.
