Financial institutions are often hesitant to introduce new technology because of fraud and other risk factors. And for my organization, this is all so new. I tell teams that by creating digital versions of ourselves, or agentic AI production models that run overnight, we can achieve strategic outcomes using this technology.

ASU accepts official transcripts that are original academic credentials issued by the registrar of the institution attended, bearing the original raised or colored seal of the institution and the signature of your institution's registrar, academic official, or recognized international organization. We accept unofficial transcripts at the time of application. If admitted, official transcripts will be required.
