Can you briefly introduce yourself and your role?
I'm currently a quant researcher at JPMorgan Chase Asset Management. I've been in the industry for over a decade, diving deep into quant research and development. Outside work, I’m busy juggling life with my two kids and training for my marathon race.
What made you decide to take part in this summit?
Oh, the AI in Finance Summit in London is one of the top AI and finance events around! There's no way I could miss out on it.
What are you most looking forward to about the upcoming summit?
Without a doubt, it's the networking opportunities! I absolutely love meeting new friends and fellow practitioners. It's always a fascinating experience. Also, I’d love to hear more about the topics around GenAI and LLM use cases at the summit.
What will your session or role at the event focus on?
I'll be focusing on managing model risk in artificial intelligence, especially in the realm of quantitative finance and research. I hope to share some insights that will help you deliver models with compliance confidence. Join my session and tell me your thoughts!
Why is this a relevant topic for the AI community right now?
AI and ML are all the rage these days, and almost every graduate is learning the basics to gear up for the job market. However, the framework for deploying models live and maintaining them with enterprise governance isn't often discussed, even though it's a critical part of day-to-day operations. It's a conversation we need to have!
