Artificial Intelligence In The Financial Sector
Course Info
Course Summary
In the modern world, artificial intelligence and machine learning systems have taken over and become necessary features in almost all industries, regardless of sector. This is especially true for the financial sector, as artificial intelligence is perfectly designed to gather and process financial data.
To successfully implement an artificial intelligence system, it is essential to consider its final goal or outcome. These systems can automate simple and tedious processes to relieve employees' responsibility so they can focus their energy elsewhere, but they can also replace entire departments within an organisation if programmed effectively. To tailor a system to meet the organisation’s needs, those involved need to have a full understanding of the types of artificial intelligence and machine learning systems.
When preparing for system implementation, extensive planning, designing, and monitoring of its progress are also necessary. Integration may need to happen over a period of time to ensure the organisation can carefully adjust to the new technology. Close monitoring post-implementation will also make mistakes easier to notice before they have a chance to cause significant issues.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the rising importance of artificial intelligence and machine learning within the financial sector.
- Develop various artificial intelligence financial systems – credit default predictor, fraud detection system, recommender system and customer segmentation system.
- Evaluate existing artificial intelligence systems to highlight key structures and processes.
- Explain an artificial intelligence system's concepts, principles, and typical architecture.
- Explore the benefits and limitations of artificial intelligence systems.
- Create an action plan detailing goals, objectives, innovative ideas, and project stages.
- Comprehend the risks associated with full reliance on a technology system and balance technology with human influence.
This course is designed for anyone within the financial sector who wishes to incorporate artificial intelligence into their standard practices. It would be most beneficial for:
- Finance Managers
- Accountants
- Risk Managers
- Senior Executives
- Business Owners
- Banking Managers
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Engineers
- Operations Managers
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review case studies of established financial organisations that utilise artificial intelligence systems to highlight key features and processes.
Participants will be provided with all the necessary tools and equipment to successfully carry out the learning exercises offered. They will participate in a variety of presentations, group discussions, demonstrations, and individual activities. Combining these activities alongside the supplied case studies will ensure full development of the related skills and knowledge.
