Disruptors in Modern Finance

Non-Financial Data, AI, and Autonomous Investing

Investment decision-making is shifting as non-financial data and artificial intelligence become central to capital allocation. At New York Technology Innovation, Omar Selim (CEO, Arabesque Group) joins Dr. Henning Stein (CIO, 1BusinessWorld) to examine how sustainability data and advanced analytics reshape asset management.

The discussion outlines the industry’s trajectory toward autonomous investing: AI systems that emulate human judgment to process vast data sets and deliver customized, performance-aligned portfolios at scale.

Selim and Stein argue this represents a new operating model for finance, where technology translates investor intent into precise, consistent action.
