Overview
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming a foundational capability in finance and banking. Financial institutions are increasingly using AI to enhance risk management, fraud detection, financial analysis, customer engagement, reporting, and operational efficiency. With the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI, finance professionals now have access to powerful tools that can analyse information, generate insights, and support decision-making at unprecedented speed.
However, the finance and banking sector operates in a highly regulated environment, where data confidentiality, explainability, accountability, and ethical use are critical. AI systems must therefore be understood, governed, and applied responsibly, rather than used blindly.
This course provides a practical, business-oriented introduction to AI for finance and banking professionals. Participants will learn core AI concepts, explore leading AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, Grok, Claude, Manus, DeepSeek, Qwen, and NotebookLM, and apply them hands-on to real financial workflows. The focus is on practical application, compliance awareness, productivity improvement, and strategic readiness, without requiring any programming background.
