Aim and Scope of the Workshop
Welcome to the 2nd edition of the Workshop in AI and Finance at ECAI-2025.
The importance of Artificial Intelligence has grown a lot in the last decade with companies of different sizes starting their own AI research labs. Recently, this phenomenon started to take place also in the financial service industry with large financial corporations equipping themselves with research departments to appropriately leverage AI in the context of their business. Therefore, this workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners both from industry and academia in order to share and discuss recent advancements in the context of AI applications for financial services. The intended target audience is represented by all AI researchers actively investigating ways to leverage AI in finance, researchers and practitioners that would like to explore potential applications of their work in this domain, and professionals looking for a deeper understanding of the potential application AI has in the context of their business.
This workshop is related to a series of events at the intersection of AI in Finance: ICLR Workshop on Advances in Financial AI, AI for Social Impact, KDD Finance Day.
Previous year's workshop can be found here: WAIFin2024
