AI integration allows adaptation to user behavior, while offering a seamless experience. Limitations include potential false rejections and privacy concerns. They’re seen as part of multi-factor authentication frameworks, with strong password security remaining essential. Banks illustrate their function as a background security layer alongside traditional methods.
