One in four global technology leaders believe up to 75 per cent of jobs across the global economy will be augmented by AI-driven software in 2023, and the vast majority of tech bosses are also planning to make moves in the Metaverse next year. These results were uncovered in The Impact of Technology in 2023 and Beyond: an IEEE Global Study a survey which questioned 350 CIOs, CTOs, IT directors and other technology leaders in the US, UK, China, India and Brazil. Respondents worked at organisations with over 1,000 employees in multiple industry sectors including banking and financial services, consumer goods, education, electronics, engineering, energy, government, healthcare, insurance, retail, technology and telecommunications. The study covered the most important technologies in 2023 and future technology trends. Global technology leaders surveyed said cloud computing (selected by 40 per cent), 5G (38 per cent), Metaverse (37 per cent), electric vehicles (35 per cent), and the Industrial Internet of Things (33 per cent) will be the most important areas of technology next year.

This chapter aims at providing a framework for analysis on evolutionary trends in finance that have to do with technological progress and especially with artificial intelligence (AI) applications. The starting point can be identified with a survey on how they have modified the business areas involving banking and financial services and on what can be expected – in terms of future strategic shifts and behavioral changes – on both the supply and the demand sides. The next step revolves around a wider and deeper investigation on the role that virtual assistants have started to – and are likely to further – play in the areas under scrutiny: special attention is requested upon the provision of enhanced customer service support, including conversational AI and sound branding; implications encompass developments that are on the cards, based upon digitalization as a must – not just an option – as shown by the Covid-19 pandemic. Conclusions allow to emphasize the significance, advancing features and value of this conceptual paper, as it leads to sort out best practices and success stories that are worth disseminating and replicating to benefit not only individuals and enterprises having direct interest in them, but society as a whole.

Although banking and financial services tend to be slower to adopt new technologies, aPricewaterhouseCooper study confirms the majority of financial services decision-makers are investing in artificial intelligence (AI)--52 percent of executives confirmed they are making "substantial" investments in AI while 72 percent believe it will be a business advantage. One thing that will likely make the rest believe in artificial intelligence's potential for the industry are the cost savings that are expected to be$447 billion by 2023. So, how do financial institutions use artificial intelligence? The most visible way the banking industry uses artificial intelligence (AI) is for customer service from chatbots and robots. Many of the largest financial institutions, such as Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase, use AI to streamline customer service.

Even though banking and financial services have been slower than other industries to adopt the latest technology into their operations, financial organizations are trying to catch up by incorporating artificial intelligence, blockchain, and other technology to benefit their customers, remain competitive and improve business results. Here are the 7 biggest technology trends that will disrupt banking and financial services in 2020.

So, how do financial institutions use artificial intelligence?

A bank's AI goals should look beyond cost reduction, welcome though that is. This technology has the capacity to do much more. Indeed, it can completely transform on institution from the core." In our recent Banking on AI article, we gave an overview of the rapid pace of AI evolution in the banking sector and looked at the limitless opportunity to automate functions and augment the banking workplace. Microsft's Dynamics 365 AI solutions feature the most impactful and proprietary AI capabilities in global technology, and support banking organisations to deliver meaningful customer experience.

According to Gartner, "the growing demand for DS&ML as a competitive differentiator is forcing organizations to acquire an even wider portfolio of skilled resources – from statisticians and data scientists, to chief analytics officers. However, there is a shortage of data science skills in the market, making it difficult to source the right skills."

Humanity has been on the road for a very long time--from the beginning, when each individual had to collect sufficient food to survive every single day--to the point where we invented agriculture. At that point, we moved from 99% survival and 1% reproduction to a brand new model. Growing food marked the introduction of leisure. Since then, every step in our evolution has proceeded along the lines of doing more and more with less and less. You might recall the 1899 story of Charles H. Duell, Commissioner of the U.S. Patent Office, lobbying President McKinley for its closure, claiming that "everything had already been invented."
