Artificial Intelligence used to be the stuff of fantasy movies and comics. Now it’s a part of every industry and everyday life. Our use of it is only going to increase in the future as AI becomes more and more intertwined with our day-to-day activities and industries recognise it's boundless potential. However, so far the finance sector has lagged in terms of uptake compared to other industries. Harish Sundaresh joins to discuss the adoption of AI in the finance sector, drawing on comparisons with the healthcare and transport sectors to argue for its benefits while warning of its pitfalls. Harish is leading the development and management of quantitative trading strategies in the multi-asset space at Loomis Sayles and Director of the firm's Factor-Based Investment Group. He also holds an MSc in applied mathematics (computational engineering) from MIT.Our sources for the show: FT resources, BBC, Reuters, Forbes, IDC, Electronic Design, CAR Magazine.This content is paid for by advertisers and is produced in partnership with the Financial Times' Commercial Department.
