This week we are joined by Ben Nadel who is the Director of Woodhurst, a boutique consultancy business that operates across; Cloud, Big Data, Risk Management, and AI & Machine Learning, with a heavy focus on the FS industry.

In this episode, we discuss;

  • Why they decided to write a whitepaper on AI within Financial Services
  • How if done badly, AI can take your business backwards, not forwards
  • Why AI is more applicable to the FS sector than any other sector,
  • The major benefits and challenges of AI within FS
  • That data is the lifeblood to any AI project,
  • How most organisations fall into one of two camps regarding AI
  • That AI is still just a tool to allow businesses to make better decisions and the real question is, is AI the right solution?
