AI & Financial Modelling: Opportunity, risk, and the future of model building
Tuesday 05 May 2026 | 17:00 - 18:00 | Webinar
AI tools can now write formulas, generate analyses, and even build financial models. But does faster always mean better?
In this session, Ian Schnoor, Executive Director of Financial Modelling Institute, explores the practical opportunities and limitations of AI in financial modelling. He will examine where AI can genuinely enhance productivity, where it introduces hidden risk, and why strong modelling fundamentals are more important than ever in an AI-enabled environment.
Attendees will gain insight into:
- Where AI can improve modeling efficiency
- Where errors and structural risks may emerge
- How professional modelers can maintain control, credibility, and judgment when AI is involved
Who should attend?
This session is designed for finance professionals who want to thoughtfully integrate AI into their modeling practice without compromising quality, transparency, or professional standards.
