Topic

AI - The jack of all trades? 

Abstract

The prevalence and use of artificial intelligence (AI) in technology, products and experiences is not new. AI has been around in many forms and in an ever-evolving state. However, it is only now that we are beginning to see the immense power of AI to manifest itself in use cases that may remain invisible to us all the way to those that touch our mundane lives everyday. The confluence of several factors ranging from compute power-processing-storage, consumer and enterprise adoption as well as realization of clear efficiency and financial benefits is bringing AI to the centerstage again, and on to layman’s dinner table discussion agenda! In this segment, we will focus on showcasing the diversity of use cases of AI across industries while staying focused primarily on fintech and blockchain, and how decision-making, risk management and ROI is impacted by the use of AI.
