AI Capital Markets Can Trust: Success Stories

Capital Markets participants can’t trust black-box machine learning that overfits to past data. 

Why do 87% of AI projects fail to make it beyond the experimental phase?

Darko, Andre and Max discuss the limitations of current approaches and share some cutting-edge success stories from causaLens clients. Andre and Max present a technical demo discussing execution strategy, portfolio optimization, and other exciting Causal AI use cases in Capital Markets.

Limitations of current approaches:

  • “Black-box” models can’t be scrutinized or trusted
  • Spurious correlations lead to severe overfitting
  • AI pipeline fails to capture human insight
  • Correlation-based models can’t optimize trading actions
