Africa Melane speaks to Reana Steyn, CEO of the National Financial Ombud Scheme, about how artificial intelligence is beginning to affect dispute resolution in South Africa’s financial sector. The ombud’s office, which handles complaints related to banking, credit, and insurance services, has recently warned that AI tools are being used by complainants to generate extremely long submissions, sometimes running to 150 pages and often citing fabricated legal cases that still have to be verified by investigators. The development is creating additional pressure on an office that already processes tens of thousands of consumer complaints each year while trying to maintain a fast and efficient resolution process.
