Читать книгу Artificial Intelligence for Asset Management and Investment - Al Naqvi - Страница 24

Chapters 2 to 8 show you how to restructure your firm for the AI era. They give you the new twenty-first-century structure to run your business in a scientific manner, understand that model, and then figure out how to set up your firm from a horizontal capability perspective.

Chapters 9 to 17 are about functional competencies. This is what we call departments in our twentieth-century terminology. We view them as functional capabilities embedded in the value chain of the firm. I strongly suggest that you read and understand the function-specific opportunities. Then build your functional capacities based on the applications introduced in the chapters—but their development and application should be done as a scientific process, introduced in Chapters 2 to 8.

A few notes about the book. While I was authoring this book, I was also writing a book on AI in auditing. Some chapters—especially the ones that introduce machine learning—will seem similar. As much as possible, I have kept the book simple and understandable for businesspeople. Finally, instead of limiting the book to a narrow definition of asset management, sometimes I use the broader category of investment management. If a certain section or topic coverage is not applicable to you, feel free to skip it—for example, if you are more interested in institutional, skip the retail section. Lastly, you will notice that I use both “I” and “we” throughout the book. When I use “we,” I imply the American Institute of Artificial Intelligence.
