In an era of rapid technological advancement, businesses face constant pressure to innovate, streamline operations, and secure their most critical data. IBM z17 delivers a powerful platform that brings together AI, automation, and top-tier security, helping organizations to drive growth, optimize workflows, and ensure robust data protection. By enabling these capabilities, IBM z17 helps businesses stay ahead, boost productivity, and navigate the complexities of today’s ever-evolving marketplace.
IBM z17: AI at the Core
IBM z17 integrates second-generation AI accelerators directly into the mainframe, enabling real-time fraud detection—even at a massive scale. These accelerators support both machine learning (ML) models and transformer-based large language models (LLMs), enhancing speed, precision, and resilience.
Potential Impact:
If applied across all transactions on IBM Z, advanced AI inferencing could detect up to $190 billion in additional fraud annually (Celent, 2024).
The AI Arms Race
With 20% of fraud already AI-driven—and that number growing—the battle is intensifying. Scams are now fueled by technologies like voice cloning, phishing bots, and hyper-personalized deception. However, with 70% of global financial transactions running on IBM Z, a robust defense is already in place.
Beyond Banking: AI in Insurance
IBM’s z17 is not just for banking. In insurance, where up to 10% of P&C claims may be fraudulent, multimodal AI can process not only policy data—but also diagrams and images—to flag suspicious cases in real-time.
Why IBM z17 Stands Out:
•Supports transformers and LLMs
•Enables real-time AI operations
•Handles both internal and shared data
•Powers multimodal analysis
•Runs multiple models simultaneously
Fraud is evolving. So must our defenses. IBM z17t empowers institutions to act with speed, scale, and intelligence—fit for the AI era and beyond.”
