| Summary: | Big data and the data science revolution have spawned new technologies and analytical approaches that have changed the course of many businesses-and could change the course of the banking industry. In this O'Reilly report, Cornelia Lévy-Bencheton examines the effects of three landmark laws enacted since 2002, and how regulation has led banking away from the type of data-driven changes other industries are making.
