American Express bets on in-house AI as rivals adopt frontier models

Payment companies are increasingly adopting agentic artificial intelligence from frontier model makers to sharpen their pitches to business clients. American Express, however, is taking a different route, leaning on internal development to build its AI capabilities and compete with rivals that are buying in outside technology. The report highlights a strategic split in the payments industry over whether to partner with AI labs or build proprietary systems in-house.

Why now: Payments firms are actively choosing between buying frontier AI tools and building their own, and Amex's in-house stance stands out.
