AI and ML Applications to Finance

GIFT IFI Campus/Online

GIFT IFI Certificate

This course introduces the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in transforming financial decision-making. It focuses on how data-driven models are used to address problems such as credit risk assessment, fraud detection, portfolio optimization, and algorithmic trading.

The course emphasizes conceptual clarity over mathematical formalism, enabling learners to understand how models are built, evaluated, and deployed in financial contexts. It also critically examines the limitations of AI systems, including issues related to bias, interpretability, and regulatory compliance.

By combining intuition with practical exposure, the course enables learners to engage meaningfully with AI-driven financial systems and understand their impact on modern finance.
