The AI Working Group
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been used in investment management for decades, but its ability to transform productivity and performance in the financial sector and more widely across the economy, leapt forward with the arrival of ChatGPT and the proliferation of AI tools that followed in 2022.
In response to these rapid developments, the IR Society convened an AI Working Group, comprised of experts from within our membership, to ensure that we provide our members with up-to-date best practice and actionable insights relating to their use of AI.
The AI Working Group provides guidance on the fast-evolving AI landscape for IR professionals. The Group have been exploring a wide range of potential use cases - from workflow efficiencies, market research/analysis, agentic tools and sentiment analysis through to frontier opportunities such as producing ‘digital twins’ of sector CEOs, to assess likely responses to macro events. The Working Group will provide best practice guidelines, thought leadership pieces, FAQs and AI-related events to help Society members to understand what solutions are being offered, and of those, what are likely to be most useful.
