Financial Services and the Next Economy -

An Assumed or Earned Role?Why:

• Do I need you?

• Are you the only ones allowed to do what you do?

• Do you do things the way you do?

• Do you charge what you do?

• Can’t we simply bypass you?

• Shouldn’t I try to innovate and disrupt you?

• Don’t you want me to ask these questions?

Intelligence

Why all the

Speech recognition, visual perception,

learning, reasoning, inference,

strategising, planning, intuition,

decision-making, and language

translation.

Better AI Algorithms,

Big Data, Cloud,

Hardware Capability,
