Please join us for the next installment of the Bloomberg Quant (BBQ) Seminar Series. The seminar takes place every month and covers a wide range of topics in quantitative finance. 

In this session, chaired by Bruno Dupire, Professor Andrew W. Lo will present his current research, followed by several “lightning talks” of 5 minutes each in quick succession. This format gives the audience the opportunity to be exposed to a wider variety of topics. 

Note, this event will take place at our 120 Park Avenue location next to Grand Central Station.

Artificial Stupidity: The New AI and the Future of Fintech

Financial AI seems so close, yet so far. We have automated trading algorithms, machine-learning models of credit risk, electronic exchanges, robo advisors, and cryptocurrencies, but machines still haven’t replaced portfolio managers, financial advisors, and bankers. So what’s missing? Not artificial intelligence. We have yet to develop an algorithmic understanding of human behavior as it is, rather than as it should be. We need a theory of artificial stupidity.
