We live in a world with an overwhelming amount of data, structured or unstructured (e.g. text, images, and videos), from internal and external sources. Having the capability to extract, process, and analyze such an abundance of disparate data results in better risk selection, more streamlined decision making process across the Financial Service value chain (e.g. Faster analytics with real time data to provide insight and immediate risk review).

Google is a company born with the mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. In this presentation, Our speakers from Google will discuss how companies could leverage cloud data analytics and machine learning technologies to democratize big data and AI, making data and intelligence more accessible without having to deal with scarcity in Data Science talents and complex IT infrastructure.
