AI is the New Electricity

The macro environment in 2023 is very special, as the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a stock market crash, meme stocks, a market surge triggered by vaccine news, a mechanistic shift from momentum stocks to value stocks, the Fed's announcement of quantitative easing, and most importantly, fixed income has reversed its decades-long trend of moving inversely with stocks. Advances in NLP (natural language processing) and machine learning were discussed, with special mention of the success of OpenAI's chatbot ChatGPT. Shared how AI will directly impact every industry in the world. Finance is one of the industries with low AI utilization and still faces fundamental challenges. However, this is starting to change as technology advances and AI becomes more accessible to investment managers.

Challenges of AI Adoption in Finance

We also talked about the explosion of data sets and how they are becoming mature enough for machine learning systems to use. However, the financial industry faces many special challenges, such as time points, term meanings changing over time, processing numeric data, and most AI systems tend to focus on generalized NLP and chat problems. For example, the financial industry has a large amount of numeric data that many current AI systems cannot handle.

One of TSAI’s key capabilities is its ability to analyze large amounts of data, both textual and numerical, and turn it into actionable insights.
