Some 82 percent of companies have experienced at least one unplanned systems outage over the past three years, which lasted an average of four hours.

Data scientists remain among the most sought-after of all workers, and that translates into very healthy salary ranges for several key job roles.

Early adopters of advanced AI technologies are able to reduce fraudalent practices and improve customer service, says Julie Conroy.

The primary uses are for sending alerts, notifications and reminders, marketing messages, streamlining account registration and protecting accounts with two-factor authentication.

The industry has a way to go in fixing the underlying information challenges needed to respond to regulatory requests and to innovate, says Michael Atkin.

Researchers have seen at least three cyber espionage operations using this technique, says Alexey Shulmin of Kapersky Lab.

More than half of firms think those that don’t keep up with technology advances will go out of business or be absorbed by a competitor within four years.

But challenges of implementing the technology include regulatory issues, incomplete data, lack of skilled employees and executive support.
