Aussie broker Blueberry has hired a new executive as its Head of AI.
Prior to Uber, Mcintosh worked at Facebook-owner Meta for just over a year. He has also held technology roles at Ansarada, Optus, and Salmat.
The role that Mcintosh has taken up at Blueberry is indicative of a wider trend we see across the online trading industry.
Brokers are increasingly using the technology to automate different parts of their business.
Deriv has been one of the most open about how it uses the technology, with the company saying it has seen huge increases in productivity from using AI for content creation and customer services.
Broker IC is also in the process of building an AI-focused team across its offices in Cyprus and Dubai.
IG Group did have a Global Head of Data and AI Transformation – Olga Pirog. However, Pirog left the broker at the end of last year to launch her own AI start-up.
