TechTalk - From Data Complexity to Quantum Power: Harnessing AI and Quantum Computing for Investment Management
Description
.
WHY ATTEND
Join us on Wednesday 13 September for an insightful exploration of Quantum AI technology and its potential impact on Investment Management.
The ever-growing complexity of data sets has outpaced traditional computing resources, but the power of quantum computing holds the promise of solving these challenges in seconds.
Artificial Intelligence systems have developed significantly over the last few years and months but are only as good as the data they’re trained on, however, speed of pattern identification will facilitate analysis and prediction faster and more accurately than is humanly possible but how do we ensure inputs are clean and unbiased.
It’s predicted that Quantum Artificial intelligence, could significantly enhance investment strategies, risk management, portfolio optimisation, and asset pricing but are we really in a position to access what this technology has to offer?
During this in-person TechTalk event, we’ll be exploring a number of topic areas including:
- Quantum Computing Applications in Investment Management
- Industry opportunities and readiness - Performance comparisons
- Early adopter case study – what we can learn from other sectors
- Regulatory implications and risk mitigation strategies
Don't delay, register today!
