[i3] Luncheon: Opportunities and Dangers of A.I.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere you look. Only recently, Apple announced it has brokered a deal with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into its digital assistant Siri. This will allow people to ask their iPhones and Macbooks for help with things like recipe ideas, room decorations or composing a story.

But what does the continued rollout of AI mean for the financial services and investment industry? Sure, there will be plenty of opportunities to achieve efficiencies, develop enhanced services and detect anomalies.

But AI can also be used for more nefarious purposes, including fraud and identity theft. It also has the tendency to give you a different answer each time, or outright make things up.

In this presentation, Will Liang draws upon his experience as Chief Technology Officer to delve into some of the opportunities and dangers of AI integration.
