Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: AI For Finance

Discover how artificial intelligence is transforming the world of finance in this dynamic, three-week course exploring the technologies, models, and innovations shaping the future of the industry. From quantitative modelling and intelligent risk management to customer-facing agentic AI, the course offers an exciting journey through the rapidly evolving intersection of AI and finance.

The course begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of AI, its use in finance, and the role of Python, financial data, and feature-engineering in building effective models. You will then explore neural networks, time-series forecasting and backtesting, exploring how machine learning and deep learning can be applied to financial prediction and portfolio analysis. You will discover agentic AI and multi-agent systems, reinforcement learning, AI-driven trading and portfolio optimisation, examining how intelligent systems can support increasingly complex financial decisions. Throughout the course we maintain a focus on investigating frontier technologies, critically assessing both their limitations and risks and their potential to transform the future of finance.

This course is designed for students and aspiring finance professionals who want to understand and apply cutting-edge AI technologies across quantitative finance, risk management, trading, investment research and financial services.
