The revolutionary rise of Fintech is enabled by two backbone technologies: artificial intelligence and blockchain. With artificial intelligence centric business models driving the core competitive advantage of financial firms, companies should be integrating AI into the strategic DNA of a firm and making AI pervasive and ubiquitous across its value chain. Not so in the legacy firms. So far, AI has only been used in a limited way to solve a narrow set of business problems. The overbearing complexity of mapping the rapidly advancing science and technology of artificial intelligence to the intricacies of financial markets is prohibitively challenging. As executives struggle to understand how to strategically integrate AI in their firms, adoption of AI remains scanty. The experimental and point solution centric applications of artificial intelligence are insufficient to secure and sustain a competitive advantage for firms.
Filling the strategic gap, this book provides an integrated framework to help financial institutions go beyond the tactical use of artificial intelligence. In an accessible and business centric language the book gives provides a framework on how to set up and run artificial intelligence. It explains:
- How artificial intelligence is the backbone of modern asset management and investment operations
- What is artificial intelligence and how it is being used across the value chain
- How to compete effectively in the new age of asset management
- How to build your firm around artificial intelligence
- What are the governance challenges of AI
- How to deliver results with artificial intelligence
