progresses. With business owners realising the importance of automation, it is really starting to change the world in which we do business. Even the finance sector is starting to succumb to this new technology… first cloud accounting, and now artificial intelligence. If we don’t move with the times, then we will only get left behind! Let’s take a look at just how AI is going to change the world of finance, and the benefits it could bring to your business’ accounts.
Automation is becoming more and more important within the world of business. By automating tasks which usually take up a lot of time, this allows businesses to focus on those areas which are more revenue-generating. Business is being conducted in a completely different way, particularly with so much data at our fingertips now. Managing resources, employees and clients has become so much easier just by simply using AI and making the more tedious tasks much simpler.
Without having to heavily invest in infrastructure, businesses are able to carry out their work at faster speeds. Machine learning and AI allows companies to quickly collect data, find patterns and create actionable insights from this. It has taken a little while for AI to start creeping into the finance sector, but if you are wanting to improve your profits then you may want to carry on reading.
Now we have got a better insight of AI and how the technology can be used within business, let’s have a look at the benefits of AI to the finance sector.
AI can really help to maximise resources within a business, to help eliminate errors (incredibly important within the financial sector). The new AI-driven process helps to take control of operating functions to save businesses time and money.
It is worth mentioning the volatile stock market too. Rather than relying on human resources, AI-powered algorithms are able to interpret structured (databases & spreadsheets) and unstructured (social media) data, correctly estimating which stocks will perform best. This allows business owners to take much more calculated financial risks when it comes to investments.
Fraudulent activities on credit cards are constantly on the rise, and with more and more people turning to online shopping this is only going to escalate the problem. AI technologies are great at reducing online threats as they monitor and store data on customers’ past purchases and buying behaviour. If anything unusual is detected, they block the transaction immediately. This really helps save businesses money in the long run from fraudulent transactions.
If you have ever applied for a business loan you will know just how difficult and drawn-out the process is. With the introduction of AI into this process, data analysis is much easier and loans can then be accepted or rejected in a much quicker timeframe. Banks are also using remote banking applications these days, to allow for the fast transfer of funds. If you really have a think about it, AI has been slowly creeping into the finance sector for some time now.
