- AI adoption in financial services is on the rise, with 41% of firms extensively using AI.
- Asset managers are leading the charge in investing in AI for data management.
A recent study by Alveo highlighted the increasing use of AI in the financial sector. The research surveyed senior decision-makers from financial services firms in the UK, the US, and the DACH region. It was found that 41% of firms have extensively deployed AI across their operations, signaling a deliberate move towards embracing this transformative technology.
The study revealed a division within the sector, with some firms adopting a holistic approach to AI deployment while others are more cautious. Interestingly, companies with 500 to 5,000 employees are at the forefront of adoption, with over half leveraging AI compared to smaller firms.
Alveo’s CEO, Mark Hepsworth, noted that AI adoption is still in its infancy in financial services. However, there is a positive outlook on AI investment, with 34% of respondents expecting a significant increase in AI spending for data management in the next two years. Asset managers are particularly keen on harnessing AI for data management.
Hepsworth emphasized the potential of AI to revolutionize data management, enhancing accuracy and operational efficiency. This integration not only promises operational benefits but also fosters innovation and informed decision-making within the financial services industry.
As the industry continues to embrace digital transformation, the findings from Alveo’s research provide insight into a future where AI plays a crucial role in shaping the financial services landscape.
