Trust in AI is growing in finance, especially behind the scenes
This story was originally published on CX Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily CX Dive newsletter. A majority of customers trust the use of AI in behind-the-scenes tasks at financial institutions, according to a TD Bank survey conducted by Ipsos released Tuesday. Among the 2,500 U.S. consumers polled, 70% are comfortable with technology being used for fraud detection, and 64% are comfortable with it being used in credit score calculations. Consumers also believe that AI should offer more ease. Two-thirds believe it can expand access to financial tools, and nearly half expect benefits from AI like 24/7 banking access. As consumers have become more familiar with AI tools, their trust in the technology has slowly grown. Nearly 7 in 10 consumers say they are at least somewhat familiar with AI — a finding seen in other surveys, too. Notably, half of consumers trust that AI will provide reliable, competent information, trusting AI just as much as news stations. But consumers are more comfortable with AI in specific use cases and the more complex or sensitive the matter, the more they want to speak to a human or know that a human will be reviewing AI before making any decisions. Consumers are less inclined to want to only use AI when it comes to tasks that one might typically use a financial adviser for, according Ted Paris, EVP, TD Bank AMCB, and head of analytics, intelligence & AI. When it comes to personal finance, 3 in 5 of consumers were comfortable with the idea of using AI financial tools for budgeting and automating savings goals. But less than half were comfortable with more complex tasks like retirement planning and investing. Banks enjoy high consumer trust — more than 4 in 5 consumers trust banks for accurate information. As they deploy AI, it's important that they maintain that, Paris said. 'What's probably the key piece, is creating and enabling and allowing customers and colleagues to feel that they can trust the outcomes of what this capability then generates,' Paris said. One of the ways TD Bank is approaching this is by always having a human in the loop, meaning that the output of an AI solution will be passed through some internal expert before going to a client. 'We need to make sure that first, anything that we're doing is directed toward a particular need,' Paris said. 'We need to make sure that this is going to meet all hurdles that we would set, legal, regulatory, for security and privacy.' Sign in to access your portfolio

Firefly Aerospace to launch 'Ocula' moon-imaging service as early as 2026
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Firefly Aerospace's lunar ambitions are growing. The Texas-based company, which successfully operated its Blue Ghost lander on the lunar surface earlier this year, announced today (June 18) that it's working on a new moon project: a "lunar imaging service" called Ocula. "Powered by a constellation of Elytra vehicles in lunar orbit, and eventually Mars orbit, Ocula will provide critical data that informs future human and robotic missions and supports national security with intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance," Firefly CEO Jason Kim said in an emailed statement. "This service will fill a void for our nation with advanced lunar imaging capabilities and a sustainable commercial business model." Firefly is developing its Elytra vehicle for a variety of uses in Earth orbit and deep space, including the region around the moon. The Ocula project will equip Elytra probes with high-resolution telescopes developed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy facility in the California Bay Area. These scopes will be able to resolve features as small as 8 inches (20 centimeters) on the lunar surface from an altitude of 31 miles (50 kilometers), according to Firefly. "With ultraviolet and visible spectrum capabilities, the telescopes are designed to support situational awareness of other objects in cislunar space, enable fine-grained lunar surface details and identify concentrations of ilmenite, which indicates the presence of helium-3," Firefly representatives wrote in the emailed statement. (Helium-3, a potential fuel for future nuclear fusion reactors, is thought to be more abundant on the moon than it is on Earth.) Ocula data could also help researchers and planners select landing sites for future robotic or crewed missions, the company added. Firefly aims to license the data to both government and commercial customers. Related Stories: — 'We're on the moon!'

An Elytra with an LLNL scope will serve as the transfer vehicle for that mission, which will put Blue Ghost down on the moon's far side (and also deliver a European Space Agency probe to lunar orbit). Elytra will serve as a communications relay for Blue Ghost and its payloads for the duration of the lander's roughly two-week-long surface mission. After those duties are done, Elytra will begin its Ocula work, imaging the lunar surface in detail for more than five years. Another scope-equipped Elytra will launch in 2028, on the third Blue Ghost mission. And other spacecraft will follow in the ensuing years, if all goes to plan. "Firefly will expand its constellation of Elytra vehicles in lunar orbit to further enhance the Ocula service and enable faster revisit times for situational awareness, resource detection and mission planning," Firefly wrote in the statement. "Longer term, the service can also be extended to Mars and other planetary bodies."

Johnny Marr Reveals Real Reason He Turned Down 'Eye-Watering' Offer To Reunite With Morrissey
Music legend Johnny Marr has said there was a very simple reason he wasn't interested in getting The Smiths back together. In September 2024, former Smiths frontman Morrissey claimed that he and his former bandmate had been made a 'lucrative offer' months earlier to reunite. While he claimed that he'd been in favour of a reunion, he wrote that Marr had simply 'ignored the offer', though the man himself later insisted: 'I didn't ignore the offer – I said no.' During an interview on the podcast Stick To Football, the guitar hero confirmed: 'We [had] an offer [to reunite] recently, but I said no.' He went on to say the decision was 'a little bit about principles', adding: 'But I'm not an idiot, I just think the vibe's not right. Bad vibe.' 'It was an eye-watering amount of money,' Marr noted, but pointed out: 'I really like what I'm doing now which makes it a lot easier. I really like where I'm at. I still work, I craft, I still want to write the best song I've ever written. I want to be a better performer.' In an attempted dig at his former bandmate last year, Morrissey wrote on his official website when Marr's dismissal of a Smiths reunion was made public: 'Morrissey said Yes to the offer; Marr ignored the offer. 'Morrissey undertakes a largely sold out tour of the USA in November. Marr continues to tour as a special guest to New Order.' Morrissey has come under fire on numerous occasions in the last few years for his commentary on politics both in the UK and abroad, as well as his apparent endorsement of far-right groups and parties. Around the time that Morrissey first alleged that Marr had thrown the brakes on a Smiths reunion, the guitarist responded to one X user's calls for the group to get back together with a simple photo of a grinning Nigel Farage, the leader of the Reform party, of whom the Everyday Is Like Sunday singer has previously spoken favourably.
