Artificial Intelligence in Financial Services 2022
The Artificial Intelligence in Financial Services conference will be returning to London in 2022.
Over the course of 2 days, 150+ senior executives from leading financial institutions will gather to discuss current AI success, how you can leverage new tools, and when and where to use them for best effect.
The event will tackle 2 key issues:
1. How AI impacts the business model of financial services – and where best to deploy it – now, and in the next decade
2. How to get adoption, deployment and implementation right - with a focus on internal and human processes as much – if not more on – human-centred activities
Delegates will leave the event with insight on how the industry uptake of AI is evolving, especially as advances in processing power start to change what’s possible, and guidance on where the industry is headed to over the next decade.
What to Expect for 2022?
This event brings together senior executives from Europe’s leading financial services companies to explore the latest innovations in AI and how they are specifically being used to enhance and disrupt the FS industry.
