At the risk of being redundant, I’d like to repeat and reiterate… (Nothing new, but a good summary.)
Why building backdoors into encryption won’t make us safer

Data 2.0 - Alternative data and artificial intelligence are the future fuel for investors
The alternative data market, expected to become a $1.7 billion industry in the next few years, can encompass a range of sources. These include natively digital information like web traffic, online buying habits, and social media activity, as well as more granular indicators of financial performance, such as ocean cargo and automobile registration information.
In the capital markets space, alternative data is viewed as increasingly important. According to a 2019 survey by Greenwich Associates, 95% of trading professionals believe alternative data will become more valuable to the trading process, and 85% of banks, investors, and capital markets service providers plan to increase spending on data management.
