Since the latest AI Spring there has been a societal tendency to look for fields where ML could plausibly be applied productively. And then to make a stronger claim that doing so would in practice deliver those benefits. Many consultants, researchers are aware of the stretch, but do it anyway because FOMO. They know too that others make sumilar unsupported claims. On the basis of the evidence presented in this article, I would argue that this tendency is a cultural deviance. And that these banking risk / compliance folks are themselves complicit. I agree the field of cultural analysis has potential, but it appears these folks lack results to demonstrate it.
