I’m very interested in all the sessions addressing integration of AI with existing workflows and processes.

What are you currently most inspired about in regards to AI & Emerging Tech for Finance?

Like many, I find a lot of appeal in using new techniques to augment our investors’ decisions to more effectively generate alpha. I think the rise of alternative data source use is good for the democracy of the information market, and creates space for alpha.
