Previously, I analyzed how dirty, or bad data is the enemy of machine learning. The final blog of this series describes the advantages of artificial intelligence and machine learning in financial services.
Many financial services organizations have already begun to take advantage of ML technology because of its proven ability to reduce operational costs, increase revenues, improve productivity, enhance compliance, bolster security, and enrich the customer experience. However, most companies are in the early stages of exploiting the benefits of ML.
With more than 10,000 AI vendors competing for market share, there exists a range of ML applications for different use cases in financial services. Some applications, such as chatbots, are industry-agnostic and need to be trained for the specific company’s vernacular. Others are highly specific to financial processes. If a firm has the impetus, sufficient technology talent, and financial resources, there are open-source ML frameworks that can be leveraged to facilitate custom software development.
If properly implemented, AI can provide financial services firms with a superior customer experience (CX) and increase revenue, reduce expenses, boost security, and mitigate fraud.
