CFTE Free Live Webinar | Investment Decision Making
Investing in the Age of AI
Where does AI improve judgement, and where can it create new blind spots? Explore what this means as investment ideas move from concept to execution.
Better tools do not remove the need for better judgement.
The central question
How should investors use AI without losing sight of risk?
Artificial intelligence is reshaping how investors analyse information, assess risk and identify opportunities. It can help professionals process more data, challenge assumptions and move more quickly from an investment idea to a decision.
Yet greater analytical power can also create new forms of overconfidence, hidden model risk and weak accountability. The quality of the outcome still depends on the questions being asked, the evidence being examined and the judgement applied before capital is committed.
In this live CFTE webinar, Professor Luis A. Seco will examine how AI can strengthen investment analysis while highlighting the continuing importance of risk awareness, governance and commercial understanding.
