Financial Services Must Get More Out of Their Data - AI Holds The Key, says PwC

With estimates showing that algorithmic trading systems handle 75% of the volume of global trades worldwide, financial services are feeling the impact of AI investment more than most. There's a number of reasons for this, not least because finance work is incredibly data-heavy. "Yesterday, I had an interesting conversation," offers Dr. Christian Westermann, Data & Analytics Partner with PwC Switzerland. He is better-placed than many to explain why AI is already such an area of interest within financial services. Formerly a space scientist, Westermann oversaw the early development of data analytics as a topic of interest at the firm from 2009 onwards.
