It was 50 years ago that NASA entrusted Apollo 11 with taking a man to the moon and safely returning him home. The hardware and software that controlled the flight and safety mechanisms would become the basis for modern computing systems.

Maybe you’ve heard of Moore’s Law; it asserts that computing power doubles every two years. That’s why your cell phone has thousands of times more memory, power, and speed than the computers that powered that Apollo mission. Technology will continue to propel the financial services industry to new heights.

And artificial intelligence (AI) is going to lead the way.
