[Hybrid] Artificial Intelligence in Finance: Data Ethics and Beyond

Details

The investment and potential use cases for artificial intelligence and machine learning (A.I/M.L) in financial services are increasing exponentially as the use of cloud technology and volume of data makes its application more viable. As digitization now reaches the last confines of finance, it has opened the door to the automation of most routine functions.

Processes that require complex analysis and decision-making broadly mark the boundary for digitization, yet it is being pushed by artificial intelligence applications which offer significant advantages over human intervention: ability to integrate vast – and growing – swathes of data, auditability, predictability, and availability, to name a few. As the recent release of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data Guidance on the Ethical Development and Use of artificial intelligence highlights important steps that firms in Hong Kong must take to ensure that this new technology is implemented in a fair, accountable manner.

In this event we will address some of the key challenges, including the ethical considerations, talent and expertise requirements, and technical considerations; we will also hear about real-life applications from those who are striving to implement true artificial intelligence.
