Experian also helps individuals to take financial control and access financial services, businesses to make smarter decisions and thrive, lenders to lend more responsibly, and organizations to prevent identity fraud and crime. Today, I learn more about investment in AI and Machine Learning since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and how these trends can continue. Shri Santhanam, Experian’s EVP of global analytics and AI solutions discusses these trends based on newly-released data from Experian’s Global Insights Report, which looked at businesses across ten countries, which found: • Nearly 70% of businesses have used either AI or Machine Learning to help manage their businesses in the current marketplace. • Almost 60% of businesses are increasing their budget for analytics and customer creditworthiness in the next 12 months. Shri champions data innovation and enables organizations of all sizes to apply AI and analytics so they achieve their business goals. Shri discusses how businesses can allocate these investments to better leverage AI and ML data. We also talk about why AI and ML will continue to dominate data analytics and how the pandemic has changed the AL/ML landscape of the future.
