 In 2024, AI truly cemented itself at the heart of fraud prevention. A striking 75% of financial firms are already using AI, with an additional 10% planning to implement it in the next three years, according to the Bank of England. At bigspark, we’ve been leveraging this power to create predictive models for a large UK retail bank, helping anticipate and prevent fraud by detecting anomalies in progress.

In an industry buzzing with noise about AI, it can often feel like there's more talk than tangible results. Many discussions revolve around the potential of artificial intelligence, yet concrete applications and successful implementations remain sparse. Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending a "Transforming SMEs with Artificial Intelligence" Conference organized by Georgi Iliev – and the Centre for Business and Industry Transformation (CBIT) at Nottingham Business School, Nottingham Trent University – on behalf of bigspark, together with Meet Rames and our KTP Associate Preetham Yuvaraj. The presentations from the different KTP Associates were insightful, with each use case aiming to solve a definite problem with impressive results. It was also great to learn from experts of many years who heard about AI years ago and how things have evolved. Additionally, I learned how building AI systems can't be incongruous with the ethics and regulations that surround them. Georgi Iliev also managed to convince me that AI was aggressively coming for my job with some nice demos – or rather, it was coming for my mundane tasks. Thanks for organising this, Georgi Iliev. Thanks for the opportunity to attend, Robin Bradley. #ai #tech #conference #talk
