Organisations are at their varying stages but one thing is for certain; at some point automation has to move from proof of concept to full scale rollout, both enterprise-wide and up the intelligent automation curve, to gain the biggest impact. How it will be done is dependable on an organisation’s structure and digital transformation. Yet done well, scaling up means focusing on the bigger problems and addressing them from a holistic viewpoint. Here are some of the key points to consider.

Artificial Intelligence is expected to permanently change the banking industry in profound ways during the coming months and years. Companies want to seek a competitive edge by implementing more technology to achieve improvements in speed, cost, accuracy and efficiency.

Autonomous Next reports that there are three primary ways in which artificial intelligence will transform the banking industry:

• AI technology companies, such as Google and Amazon, will add financial services skills to their smart home assistants then leverage this data and interface relationships with traditional banking providers.
• Technology and finance firms will merge and collaborate to build full psychographic profiles of consumers across social, commercial personal and financial data.
• The crypto community will build decentralized, autonomous organizations using open source components with the goal of shifting the power back to consumers.

Operational efficiency is at the top of every company's agenda, and AI technologies are the latest tool being used to ensure they stay ahead of the curve. This report uncovers how SunPharma, Schneider Electric and Merck have leveraged AI to do just this – download our industry report here.

The AI market is still in its infancy especially in the Asian region, and concerns loom large. What are the benchmarks and regulations the players in the market need to be aware of? How much data is enough? What happens if a Volkswagen-style scandal happens in the world of AI? Can we survive that? 

The world has changed since then and so too have our perceptions about artificial intelligence. Successful implementation of AI means establishing a strategy where both humans and machines work side by side.

In this article, we take a look at how AI can be a benefit to a business.

AI is here to stay.  In this article, we discussed three key issues:
