Abstract

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes central to product strategy across industries, financial institutions are compelled to rethink how they design, deliver, and govern digital offerings in a dynamic, data-saturated environment. This paper presents a comprehensive examination of the strategic integration of AI into financial product management, proposing a multidimensional framework that addresses data infrastructure, model development, governance, customer-centric design, and cross-functional roles. Grounded in contemporary research and informed by a real-world case study, the study identifies how financial institutions can transition from experimental adoption to enterprise-wide deployment by embedding AI across the product lifecycle. Through strategic engagement with rising technologies such as generative AI and federated learning, this paper evaluates both the transformative potential and systemic risks associated with AI-native products. Ethical concerns, algorithmic bias, regulatory hurdles, and talent readiness are analyzed as important constraints requiring active oversight and limitation strategies. The proposed operational model offers guiding principles for organizations seeking to align innovation with compliance and stakeholder trust. The findings affirm that the strategic value of AI lies both in automation, efficiency, and also its capacity to inform adaptive, inclusive, and forward-looking product leadership in financial services.
