Alicia Vidler, PhD, talks How Agentic AI Will Change Trading and Financial Decision-Making

Description

n this conversation, Alicia Vidler, PhD, joins Frank Fabozzi, CFA, to explore the rise of Agentic AI and what it means for institutional finance. Vidler explains why programming and coding are now table stakes, while building AI systems that can reason, adapt, and act will soon resemble mastering a complex orchestral instrument. As AI models move from theory into live markets, the real testing begins. Vidler discusses why humans must remain in the loop, how both people and machines will need to adapt, and where today’s regulatory frameworks struggle to keep pace, especially in markets without central clearing like fixed income. Key topics include: • Why AI regulation and scaling remain difficult in bond markets • How trading and financial modeling may evolve over the next decade • Why traders will need to explain and defend AI-driven decisions • The enduring importance of humility, curiosity, and rigor in an AI-enabled world • How investors can apply AI responsibly through the lens of Tikkun Olam, extending services to retail and SME markets This webinar is eligible for 1 PL credit.
