This document discusses AI and machine learning applications in the financial industry. It outlines three use cases: 1) automated credit risk assessment using machine learning-based credit scores, 2) FX forecasting and hedging using cashflow forecasting, FX market prediction, and hedging optimization, and 3) extracting financial information from text using natural language processing and text analytics. The document argues that AI will be highly disruptive in finance, similarly to how electricity, the color TV, and the internet disrupted previous industries, and that financial firms should view AI not just as a disruption but as an opportunity.
