In this Seminar, Dr. Ma will present a few of the latest outcomes achieved through the application of AI in asset management. For predictive AI, quantamental models with AI have been applied in a public fund. While the results are promising, it remains challenging to incorporate all risk factors. For generative AI, Large Language Models (LLM) have been used to assist and streamline algo trading strategies selection and deployment. Dr. Ma will showcase a prototype model to illustrate its potential applications and associated challenges.
