FinextraTV reveals 3-part Sibos 2019 Highlight Series

Join FinextraTV as we reflect on the theme of Sibos, ‘Thriving in a Hyperconnected World’. In a 3-part series, we look at the power of AI, the value of Levering Data and the challenges and opportunities around regulation in Financial services. We set out to capture where Artificial Intelligence is impacting most, the concerns it raises and how the industry can use AI to maximum effect in the future. We ask participants about the importance of developing a data strategy, the problems leveraging data overcomes and the new & improved services it leads to. The final part to our series will look at Regulation and how the banks are adapting to today’s regulatory demands, we question who will be the winners and losers, and whether regulation will be able to keep up with technological advancements and curb the unintended outcomes.
