Karen Aspinall Quoted In Chief Investment Officer About AI Use

Authored by Carol Rose

Karen Aspinall, the financial services practice area chair at Practus LLP, was interviewed along with several other industry experts about AI use in institutional investing. As the article in Chief Investment Officer notes, artificial intelligence can and is making significant contributions by interpreting data and distinguishing meaningful information from static. But Aspinall and others in the industry agree, no one should be counting humans out. AI works best with human analysts to interpret intangible information.

Aspinall is quoted, “I have one fund adviser that I work with [that has] an investment strategy that significantly leverages AI for purposes of selecting the investments. But it is not a situation where the AI just runs and selects the investments, and that’s the end of it. There is still that human oversight on it at the end of the process.”
