Data Science and AI in Finance
The financial sector is one of the biggest investors in artificial intelligence and data science. With the open banking initiative and the huge amount of data institutional financial services organisations have, making sense of this data is a key priority.
According to a 2019 survey by the Bank of England, two thirds of financial services organisations are using some form of machine learning. The survey also highlighted that financial services organisations are looking to double their use of machine learning over the next three years.
As a result of the wide range of applications and the financial industry sharing the burden of a shortage of skilled data scientists, new technology will be key to ensuring finance organisations have the ability to take advantage of the latest approaches in data science.
