Live with Marvin: AI in Investment Management

| 3 min read | by James Yerkess

This video was originally published as a LinkedIn Live.

This Live with Marvin event focuses on the rapidly increasing influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Investment Management. The session will dive into how AI transforms key functions like data analytics, risk management, and client services while exploring the collaboration between humans and AI, ethical concerns, and the strategic approaches CIOs can take in leveraging AI for their organisations.

AI is reshaping the landscape of investment management by driving greater efficiency, accuracy, and client satisfaction. However, its adoption also comes with ethical considerations and potential barriers. Firms that successfully integrate AI will be better positioned for long-term success, while those hesitant may need help to remain competitive. This event will provide practical insights for navigating AI implementation and overcoming challenges, making it essential for industry leaders looking to stay ahead.
