The expansion and diversification of smart speaker owners coupled with maturing usage patterns provide strong justification for brands to take voice seriously in their customer engagement strategy. This means beginning the process of piloting and implementing voice this year to keep pace with consumer market trends.

So, don't debate whether or not machine learning is available to your business or if it’s something you can use. Spend your time figuring out where to use it and how to use it, because if you don’t, someone else will.

Robotics process automation (RPA), sometimes referred to as robotics or digital labor, is a type of Regulatory Technology (RegTech) that provides FIs an effective alternative.
