   Machine summary Denis Roux, Deutsche Bank's chief information officer for its investment bank, said on 18 June that artificial intelligence was shortening the time some technology work takes, from about two years to three to six months, with backlogs once measured in months now cleared in weeks (The Economic Times). He declined to quantify the effect. At a Deutsche Bank event in Bengaluru, India, called Bank on Tech, Roux said keeping the cost of AI adoption in check is a priority as providers shift to usage-based pricing, and the bank has roughly 9,000 technology staff in India, about 45 per cent of its global technology workforce.

   1. Roux said: "We're seeing things that were two years that are now getting done in three to six months... we know the productivity is there."
