Following the recent EBA report, a 'data driven' approach is emerging across the financial sector affecting institutions business strategies, risk and operations with respective changes in the mind-set and culture still in progress.
Data management, technological infrastructure, analytics methodology, organisation and governance are the key pillars identified by the EBA to support the rollout of Advanced Analytics, along with “elements of trust” that need to be properly and sufficiently addressed.
Few industries have as much historical and structured data as the financial services industry, making it the perfect playing field for ‘big data’ technologies, but the ability to access this data is vital and a source of systemic importance. Organisations must be able to leverage their propriety source of data to gain significant economies of scope.
Innovative technologies in AI and Machine Learning which were previously inaccessible to all organisations due to the high costs involved in developing, acquiring and maintaining the infrastructure are now available.
However, adoption of these technologies by financial institutions is slow due to challenges that arise in the process. Among them are unclear outcomes in terms of data protection regulations, data quality, and inability to control all risks.
This webinar bought together a panel of industry experts who discussed the challenges and opportunities that Big Data & Advanced Analytics can offer, as well as sharing best practice and real life examples of how AI-enabled applications can transform operational efficiencies and provide a competitive advantage.
