This book extensively explores the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the risk mitigation process and provides information for auditing, banking, and financial sectors on how to reduce risk and enhance effective reliability. The applications of the financial industry incorporate vast volumes of structured and unstructured data to gain insight into the financial and non-financial performance of companies. As a result of exponentially increasing data, auditors and management professionals need to enhance processing capabilities while maintaining the effectiveness and reliability of the risk mitigation process. The risk mitigation and audit procedures are processes involving the progression of activities to "transform inputs into output." As Artificial Intelligence systems continue to grow mainstream, it is difficult to imagine an aspect of risk mitigation in the financial industry that will not require AI-related assurance or AI-assisted advisory services. AI can be used as a strong tool in many ways, like the prevention of fraud, money laundering, and cybercrime, detection of risks and probability of NPAs at early stages, sound lending, etc. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of risk management in the financial sector using Deep Learning, Machine Learning algorithms, and Natural Language Processing (NLP). These methods can be used to ascertain the existence of potential threats, unearth fraudulent activities, and provide predictive analytics that are helpful in making decisions. The application of Artificial Intelligence to risk management has the potential to significantly improve decision-making and to reduce risks and raise overall financial stability.

Master today's required Computer Science topics while preparing for further study with Lambert's FUNDAMENTALS OF PYTHON: FIRST PROGRAMS. This book's easygoing approach is ideal, no matter what your background. The approach starts with simple algorithmic code and then scales into working with functions, objects, and classes as the problems become more complex and require new abstraction mechanisms. Rather than working only with numeric or text-based applications like other introductory texts, this edition presents graphics, image manipulation, GUIs, and simple networked client/server applications. The author uses Python's standard Turtle graphics module to introduce graphics and to provide open source frameworks for easy image processing and GUI application development. This book uses the Python programming language as a way of making the first year of studying Computer Science more manageable and attractive for students and instructors alike.

This book provides cybersecurity practitioners with the knowledge needed to understand the risks of the increased availability of powerful large language models (LLMs) and how they can be mitigated. It attempts to outrun the malicious attackers by anticipating what they could do. It also alerts LLM developers to understand their work's risks for cybersecurity and provides them with tools to mitigate those risks. The book starts in Part I with a general introduction to LLMs and their main application areas. Part II collects a description of the most salient threats LLMs represent in cybersecurity, be they as tools for cybercriminals or as novel attack surfaces if integrated into existing software. Part III focuses on attempting to forecast the exposure and the development of technologies and science underpinning LLMs, as well as macro levers available to regulators to further cybersecurity in the age of LLMs. Eventually, in Part IV, mitigation techniques that should allow safe and secure development and deployment of LLMs are presented. The book concludes with two final chapters in Part V, one speculating what a secure design and integration of LLMs from first principles would look like and the other presenting a summary of the duality of LLMs in cyber-security. While the general public discovered Large Language Models (LLMs) with ChatGPT—a generative autoregressive model, they are far from the only models in the LLM family. Various architectures and training regiments optimized for specific usages were designed throughout their development, which were then classified as different LLM families.

This book explains how to embed Artificial Intelligence (AI) in digitized business processes of ERP software by solving the two related substantial challenges: how can Artificial Intelligence be systematically integrated into ERP business processes for ease of consumption, and how can Artificial Intelligence be made enterprise-ready by covering ERP qualities like compliance, lifecycle management, extensibility, or scalability? As a general introduction, the first part of this book takes the reader through a historical journey towards intelligent ERP systems. In addition, reference processes and a reference architecture for ERP systems are proposed which build the foundation for the suggested subsequent solution concept, including a method for operationalizing intelligence for ERP business processes. Subsequently, in the second part detailed concepts of embedding Artificial Intelligence into ERP software are proposed. In this context the suggested solution architecture is depicted, and specific topics are resolved like data integration, model validation, explainability, data protection and privacy, model degradation and performance. In the last part an implementation framework is suggested which enables the previously introduced concepts and harmonizes the development and operations of Artificial Intelligence ERP applications. This part concludes with case studies considering Artificial Intelligence scenarios of SAP S/4HANA in the areas of logistics, finance and sales which apply the defined solution approach and shows its real-world feasibility. In the context of ERP systems, Artificial Intelligence is utilized to imbue business processes with intelligence, increasing the automation and optimization levels. Data Science techniques are applied for this purpose.

The surging predictive analytics market is expected to grow from $10.5 billion today to $28 billion by 2026. With the rise in automation across industries, the increase in data-driven decision-making, and the proliferation of IoT devices, predictive analytics has become an operational necessity in today's forward-thinking companies. If you're a data professional, you need to be aligned with your company's business activities more than ever before. This practical book provides the background, tools, and best practices necessary to help you design, implement, and operationalize predictive analytics on-premises or in the cloud. Pandas is an open source Python package that makes it easy to perform data wrangling in Python. It is built on top of the NumPy library that we discussed in the previous section. Pandas makes it easy to work with data for the purpose of Data Science and data analytics. Just as for NumPy the main object provided by the library was an n-dimensional array, for Pandas the main object is a Pandas DataFrame. TensorFlow was created and made open source by Google. It is one of the most-used platforms worldwide for Machine Learning (ML). TensorFlow has wide-ranging applications, including structured data processing, automated image classification, advanced optical character recognition (OCR), video analysis, and sentiment analysis, to name a few. The primary audience for this book is data professionals and technical managers who want to learn the scientific foundation for predictive analytics and its application in today’s enterprise. The book will allow readers to navigate the life cycle of developing predictive analytics capabilities using multiple frameworks, techniques, and platforms. I assume no prior knowledge on the part of the reader except for a basic understanding of programming in Python, a high-level understanding of foundational mathematics, and a high-level understanding of Amazon Web Services (AWS).
