Join us for this must attend session where Joseph Simonian, PhD, and CFA Institute senior affiliate researcher, will talk about his latest work AI Washing: Signs, Symptoms, and Suggested Solutions for Investment Stakeholders. Joseph will cover the increasing popularity of AI in investing, and the growing risk of AI washing (AIW) in which companies, organisations, and individuals falsely or inaccurately claim scenarios leveraging AI technologies to enhance their investment processes, including machine learning (ML) and advanced data science capabilities. The session will raise the questions investment professionals particularly asset owners conducting manager due diligence need to ask about AIW, and provide practical guidance to institutions engaged in manager selection and evaluation.
Joesph will cover:
- What is AIW, and how is it defined in the context of technology and business?
- What are the underlying motivations for companies and organisations to engage in AIW?
- How does AIW impact clients, stakeholders, and the development of AI technologies?
- How can asset owners differentiate between legitimate AI technologies and inflated claims in the market?
