Why I stopped being a quant and got back into AI instead - eFinancialCareers

AI is having a huge impact on trading, wealth management and asset management. When I first graduated from Stanford, I'd tell people I have a degree in artificial intelligence and they would reply, "so, you are a science fiction writer?" I would then explain that I was an engineer who studied linguistics, cognition, statistics and algorithmic problem-solving. Today, AI is hot topic, and the entire financial industry is trying to find ways to leverage it. After a decade in quantitative finance, I decided to return home to AI and build a new kind of wealth management firm – even different from other robo-advisers.
