Watch the video recording of this event.
For too long, finance has been driven by established theories that lack wide empirical support. But finance is fast becoming a data-driven, AI-first discipline.
Join us for this edition of Meet the Expert with Yves Hilpisch for a glimpse of how AI-first finance is reshaping the industry, particularly through model-free algorithms such as neural networks. AI and machine learning will soon replace financial theory as we know it—learn why and how it will happen.
O'Reilly Meet the Expert explores emerging business and technology topics and ideas through a series of one-hour interactive events. You’ll engage in a live conversation with experts, sharing your questions and ideas while hearing their unique perspectives, insights, fears, and predictions.
