Building the Future of Finance

However you choose to define artificial intelligence, its use is becoming increasingly widespread in the financial services industry. Whether it's in the research and development of new trading strategies, analysis and management of risk, or assisting with regulatory and compliance functions, there are a growing number of use cases for AI and machine learning. The implications of this from an infrastructure perspective are significant, particularly for trading or investment firms that use AI to determine when, where, and how to trade. Harald Helnwein: I think that artificial intelligence can play – and will play – a major role in the financial services industry. We are very much focusing with our algos to move away from discretionary decision-making or "gut feel" or "shooting from the hip", towards algorithms that try to produce reproducible objective facts for trading decisions, and we've been using artificial intelligence for let's say over 10 years now, and basically machine learning for our filters.
