Moreover, the main problems still existing in applications and the matching solutions are pointed out as well. The literature shows that ChatGPT has potential to help financial organizations improve risk control ability, market insight and market competitiveness, thanks to its powerful natural language processing, data collation and data analysis capabilities.
