Banking Symposium

27th Banking Symposium 2024: Generative AI in Finance (September 25, 2024)

Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) will significantly impact and change the financial and banking sector. Large language models (LLMs) are at the forefront of this evolution, transforming financial services and creating substantial opportunities. With the sharp increase in commercial applications, economic, societal, and existential risks associated with the technology also receive more attention.

The aim of the 27th Banking Symposium (September 25, 2024) was to bring together active researchers and practitioners interested in the transformation in banking and finance through GAI. The final program included several academic presentations and insights from invited experts from the industry.
