In this episode we discuss the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into asset management, focusing on their application in portfolio management, risk assessment, and trading strategies. AI, particularly ML, allows models to process vast, complex datasets and identify patterns beyond traditional methods, promising enhanced efficiency and predictive accuracy. However, these technologies introduce new challenges, including data quality issues, the risk of overfitting, and the potential for bias in models, necessitating robust governance frameworks and regulatory oversight. One source specifically examines the use of transformer models, similar to those in large language models, to improve asset pricing by enabling sophisticated cross-asset information sharing.
