As generative AI, agentic systems and automation dominate the market conversation, how can financial market practitioners separate genuine disruption from noise? In this AcademiaTalk, Professor Dave Cliff draws on decades of AI and automated trading research- from early agent-based systems to today's LLM boom- to challenge current assumptions.

The session will explore how academic thinking can help trading desks assess technology readiness and consider where AI, automation and financial market innovation may be heading next.
