The impact of AI on fintech's future

It's clear that artificial intelligence (AI) is already one of the defining trends in fintech in 2017 and an increasingly popular buzz word in the industry. Businesses are gradually understanding the importance and benefits of machine-learning technology. Self-made billionaire Mark Cuban has boldly claimed that the "the world's first trillionaire will be an AI entrepreneur." He goes on to say that faster computer processers and large data sets have the ability to push AI into a wealth of industries and services. We have access to more data today than ever before, and with the increase of solution-finding apps that help consumers find patterns in their habits, businesses and start-ups, the bars are now high for the fintech industry.
