Apple is actually going to start its own ads platform, and they are going to start showing ads to Apple product users. So Apple obviously has become a huge powerhouse when it comes to gaining the attention of people. 

Now, the thing is that last year, Apple made a change in their policy they stopped sharing detailed information about consumers, with companies like Facebook and Snapchat, and other social media platforms. 

So what that did was it sort of limited the ability of these social media platforms to show contextual ads to the consumer. But now it is becoming clear why Apple did that because they actually wanted to cut off that data stream to the partners like Facebook and others as I mentioned, but on the flip side, they wanted to use that to their own advantage.

Now, it remains to be seen how the industry is going to react to this.

Conversational AI is taking over the world. And what that means is that companies can scale their call centres, their customer service departments to a massive scale without hiring a lot of customer service representatives. Not only that, but they can standardise and really personalise the conversations based on what the consumer is looking for. This not only provides readily available customer service to the clients, so the wait times go lower, but it also provides exactly the solution that people are looking for.

FinTech companies are changing the world that we transact, how we exchange money, how, and how we move money internationally and domestically. But there is a great threat to this industry, cybersecurity, you know, cybercrime is on the rise. And it has increased by 1000s of percent in the last three years. The primary target for cyber crimes tends to be financial institutions, or companies dealing with finance technology. Why? Because that's where the money is. You see the malicious user, know how to follow the money, and they follow these companies, and they try to attack them with things like stealing the funds, which may not be traceable. So all these problems are plaguing the financial industry.
