=====================

The Booth AI Group would like to invite you to a panel with J.P.Morgan's AI
Research team.

The group's mission is to pursue primary research in areas relative to our
research pillars as well as concrete problems related to financial
services. They partner with various internal teams to accelerate the
adoption of AI within the firm and also work with leading faculty around
the world on areas of mutual interest. Most recently, J.P. Morgan Chase
topped the first-of-its-kind ranking <http://evidentinsights.com/> showing
where the world’s leading banks stand in incorporating and advancing
artificial intelligence. The assessment of the 23 largest banks in North
America and Europe, made by the independent group Evident AI, is the first
to measure AI capabilities at banks based on public data.
