AI: The next technological revolution

According to a new survey conducted by Digital Realty, over one-third of IT decision makers in the UK’s largest financial services companies believe that AI will transform the industry in the next decade, but the same percentage admit that their infrastructure is not prepared for the transformation.

The survey unearthed that AI’s potential to transform hugely outpaces other much-hyped technologies, with leaders naming blockchain (21%), IoT (11%), application programming interface (API) platforms (10%), and robotic process automation (RPA) (10%) falling behind AI in their potential for the industry.

The financial benefits of these new technologies are potentially huge but the ability of IT leaders to prepare their businesses for these new technologies is restrained by budget (40%) and legacy infrastructure (31%). The survey highlighted that across the UK, businesses need to invest a total of £11.4 billion to be ready for these new technologies, but they will need to do this in order to keep up with the challengers – identified by 20% of IT leaders in the industry as their biggest technological challenge.

Digital Realty says that AI is going to revolutionise every industry, making businesses faster and cheaper to operate, creating new opportunities and adding an additional estimated £10 trillion to global economic activity by 2030.

Processes already seen as the norm in the financial services industry, such as fraud detection and stock trading, are made possible by AI. Financial institutions are increasingly looking to AI to aid customer communication, predictive analytics, trade processing, and intelligent investment solutions.

To seize these opportunities, businesses will need to meet new processing and interconnectivity demands. The challenge is leading them to look to cloud and data centre partners for the purpose-built infrastructure, rapid low-cost interconnection, and simple management of these complex data environments that can underpin their AI ambitions.

Digital Realty and IDG research predicted that in the next two years, 48% of large financial services businesses will move their workloads to cloud wherever possible and just 27% expect their workloads to remain on-premise.

Val Walsh, Senior Vice President, Portfolio Management at Digital Realty, comments, “The financial services industry is set to see some astonishing technological growth, and our new research demonstrates that companies in the sector are still underprepared for what’s to come. Technology like AI will greatly benefit the industry, but companies can only experience the full benefits of the technological revolution if their infrastructure is able to support these technologies.”
