Artificial Intelligence for Everyone - Workshop
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are changing the face of finance and are being rapidly adopted for a range of applications in the financial services industry. Many applications, or “use cases”, of AI and machine learning already exist. The adoption of these use cases has been driven by both supply factors, such as technological advances and the availability of financial sector data and infrastructure, and by demand factors, such as profitability needs, competition with other firms, and the demands of financial regulation. Some of the current and potential use cases of AI and machine learning include:
- Financial institutions and vendors are using AI and machine learning methods to assess credit quality, to price and market insurance contracts, and to automate client interaction.
- Institutions are optimising scarce capital with AI and machine learning techniques, as well as back-testing models and analysing the market impact of trading large positions.
- Hedge funds, broker-dealers, and other firms are using AI and machine learning to find signals for higher (and uncorrelated) returns and optimise trading execution.
- Both public and private sector institutions may use these technologies for regulatory compliance, surveillance, data quality assessment, and fraud detection.
