Beyond the Black Box: Interpretability of LLMs in Finance
Hariom Tatsat - Vice President in Quantitative AI Team - BARCLAYS
Can we open the black box of large language models and make AI in finance truly transparent? As financial institutions adopt LLMs for tasks like trading, compliance, and advisory, the need for transparency is more critical than ever.
