AI has the potential to disrupt financial services, but humans remain “imperative” to guide the technology, according to WorldQuant founder Igor Tulchinsky.

“Humans and machines need to continue to have a symbiotic relationship for AI to be the most impactful,” he told Financial News. “AI is a tool that can drive our progress, but humans must partner with the technology to improve and apply its results.”
