WORKSHOP DETAILS

The use of AI and machine learning in finance has grown significantly in the last few years. As more and more AI and ML applications are being deployed in enterprises, concerns are growing about the increased complexity of models, the growing ecosystem of untested frameworks and products, potential for AI accidents, model and reputation risk. As the debate about explainability, fairness, bias, and privacy grows, there is increased attention to understanding how the models work and whether the models are designed and thoroughly tested to address potential issues.

The area "Algorithmic auditing" is fast emerging and becoming an important aspect in the adoption of machine learning and AI products in the enterprise. Companies are now incorporating formal ethics reviews, model validation exercises, internal and external algorithmic auditing to ensure that the adoption of AI is transparent and has gone through thorough vetting and formal validation processes. However, the area is new and organizations are realizing, there is an implementation gap on how Algorithmic auditing best practices can be adopted within an organization.

PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK

Sri was an awesome instructor. He took care of the group's needs and offered different channels to pose questions.

Very competent and passionate about this very vast subject and caring about the learning of his students, even if the course was asynchronous - it has been real a pleasure to learn from Sri.

I really loved the format of this course. The flexibility with respect to time was great as the modules were prerecorded and the possibility to pose questions to the instructor in scheduled Q/A meetings was extremely useful.

I truly enjoyed your recent webinars with the CFA Institute and also learnt a lot. I look forward to more presentations from you.

I loved the course. Very well organized, clear and concise delivery, with a lot of practical examples. Abundance of materials, with links to live examples, tools, websites, articles and books.

..Very good info and wish all the modules were unlocked so I could binge watch.

Comprehensive nature of the curriculum and the layout/sequence, which flowed very naturally. Along these lines, Sri did an effective job of introducing the big picture and alternating between focus on the building blocks and relating those back to the bigger picture.
