Description: The recent wave of innovation in GenAI has unlocked an entirely new category of AI applications. Whereas AI has traditionally focused on automation and predictions, LLM’s and Generative AI give us the opportunity to create AI applications that act as copilots. This emphasis on contelligence and empowering knowledge workers has already begun to change the way work is done. High expertise knowledge workers such as actuaries will be able to use this wave of AI Apps to make better decisions and dedicate more of their attention to the parts of the role that require domain expertise and judgement. Join Charles Morris, Microsoft’s Chief Data Scientist for Financial Services, as he talks about the latest advancements in this space and the opportunities it creates for expert knowledge workers. Charles Morris is the Chief Data Scientist for Financial Services at Microsoft. Charles has deep expertise in the financial services domain and works with many of the world’s leading asset managers, banks, insurance companies, and financial platforms to develop and execute their AI strategies.Currently, Charles is focused on applying Generative AI to financial services and advising many top financial institutions in building their own copilots and reimagining their businesses.Charles is a data scientist and machine learning engineer by profession and an expert in MLOps.
