Masterclass: AI & Finance: What’s Real, What’s Next
By Professor Luciano Somoza
Duration: 1 hour
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing the financial industry, yet much of the discourse remains driven by hype, unrealistic expectations, and misunderstood capabilities. In this context, this masterclass explores what AI, especially Large Language Models (LLMs), can do effectively, what it cannot do, and how to use it responsibly in real financial environments.
What to Expect:
 |
Understand what LLMs do well and where their limitations lie. |
||
| |
Identify realistic and valuable use cases for AI in finance. |
||
|
Distinguish between meaningful innovation and misleading hype, while addressing the economic and sustainability challenges of current AI models. |
