AI will boost fintech revenue by 960 percent
Earnings created by the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in financial technology (fintech) will skyrocket in the next five years, according to new reports by Juniper Research.
The researchers have said that, by 2021, we should expect a jump of 960 percent, with revenues hitting $17 billion (£12.95bn).
There are two main reasons behind such a significant jump in the near future, Juniper says. The first one is the fact that machine learning used to be way too expensive, and computationally time-intensive be hit the mainstream. That is no longer the case.
The second reason is that access to extensive data sets for the purpose of algorithm training wasn’t all that available.
Distributed architecture and much more powerful GPU units have allowed AI to be more widely available on the market, Juniper says.
"Where Big Data analytics offered retrospective business intelligence, machine learning offers predictive and even prescriptive capabilities", says research author Steffen Sorrell. "Data is key -- and industries able to draw expertise from data scientists will be the first to capitalize on the AI opportunity".
