Overview

Artificial intelligent systems in finance have exploded over the last few years. Many institutions are struggling to leverage these new AI systems and machine learning approaches to risk management. This is particularly true for applications to risk models that are subject to regulatory scrutiny where transparency limits applications of these new approaches.

Co-sponsored with PRMIA (Professional Risk Managers’ International Association), this session will provide an overview of the current state of applied machine learning and artificial intelligence for risk modeling and how it can be applied for monitoring risk and building new risk models.
