The dream of duplicating human intelligence may be as old as humanity itself.‘We want to ask a computer, “Tell me about the merger of corporation X and corporation Y’No, I am not going to talk about Prof Raghuram Rajan and his fault line fundamentals. But for those rare breeds who are new to the concept of Prof Raghu…..Prof Rajan wrote a book on Fault Lines in 2010 to let us understand and appreciate the hidden fractures of financial crisis post 2008 which is still threatening the world economy as the name itself suggests.At the Federal Reserve annual Jackson Hole conference in 2005, Rajan had warned about the growing risks in the financial system and proposed policies that would reduce such risks. Now the left has figured out who to blame for the financial crisis: Greedy Wall Street bankers, especially at Goldman Sachs. The right has figured it out, too: It was government's fault, especially Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.Quantitative investing, one of the latest paths available to hedge fund managers and incorporating computer analytics in innovative new ways in order to make precision investment decisions, may have a new challenger emerging from within its own ranks. According to a recent report, the quickly-changing landscape of alternative investing strategies has seen a sudden rise in the prominence of artificial intelligence-based (AI) funds, and that many of these funds are vastly outperforming so-called "traditional quants", as well as human-led management teams.Fascinated by the modern concepts of finance and my innate passion for mathematics , I kept reading and collecting nuances from many sources for my own understanding but then thought to share with my small world of friends, peers and audience... the story of fault line in modern finance: Invasion of AI in Quant world !

From the stock market to the bank, Blockchain may be the future of finance and financial technology. Blockchain has so many interesting applications that hundreds of companies have popped up with a focus on the technology. In the analog world, we have physical forms of money such as goods and paper money and are limited by distance. In the digital world, we attained further reach with our transactions, eliminating the constraint and dependency of human distance and speed. However, in the digital world, we are governed by the speed and mercy of banks. In the crypto world of programmable money, we eliminate both human and institutional constraints.Have you heard about ubiquitous AADHAR cards or numbers in India ?While Aadhaar, the most comprehensive adoption of biometrics technology by any government in the world, has been championed by groups like the World Bank as having noble goals, saying it “helps willing governments to promote the inclusion of disadvantaged groups,” its critics have been vocal about its infrastructural flaws for years.Some have argued that blockchain technology could be used in identity management because its use of asymmetric encryption and immutable transactions provides for a secure computing environment for the authentication of identities.The blockchain is an undeniably ingenious invention – the brainchild of a person or group of people known by the pseudonym, Satoshi Nakamoto. It is not a new, stand-alone technology; rather it is an innovative use of existing technologies. Four particular technologies are used to enable blockchain: asymmetric key encryption; hashes; Merkle trees; and peer-to-peer networks. Blockchain has garnered attention as a novel technology with potential to improve how we conduct business. Initially popularized by Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency uses, companies are seeking novel ways of applying the technology. But despite public intrigue and excitement around the technology, questions still surround what it is, what it does, how it can be used, and its tradeoffs.In India, NITI Aayog is building a platform called ‘IndiaChain’ — a shared, India-specific Blockchain infrastructure to leverage the trinity of Jan-Dhan-Yojana, Aadhaar and the mobile. Under the aegis of Reserve Bank of India, a working Group with experts from RBI, IBA, NPCI, CCIL, ISI, State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, Citi Bank, Deutsche Bank, Infosys, TCS, IBM Research, Deloitte and MonetaGo as members is formed which is exploring the applicability of BCT to the Indian Banking and Financial Industry.Dubai has partnered with IBM (strategic partner) and Consensys (city advisor) to implement a solution to enable all government transactions on the Blockchain as a part of the ‘Smart Dubai’ initiative. Simply put for school kids, Blockchain is all about fairness and security. It is a big database that lets you record information safely and interact with anyone, without the need to trust them or rely on a big company. We all interact everyday with one another, mostly on the internet. And here comes a platform which helps honest use of technology with higher efficiency in the system. This book is a MythBuster which simplifies the concepts of blockchain to the level of school going kids. It also helps them be future ready and not get obsolete by the time they are 40.

We do not yet know which." – Stephen HawkingThe greatest risks that AI poses to companies probably lie less in its potential for disruption, and more in the unknowns surrounding it. Scientists and academics sat up and took notice in 2016 when Alpha Go, Google DeepMind’s AI-driven computer, won its five-match series against Lee Sedol, the reigning world champion in Go, the ancient Asian board game. Humans didn’t teach the computer—it taught itself how to master the game by playing it millions of times with another computer (through a set of techniques called “deep learning”), and independently responded to Mr Lee’s moves. Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft are all working on machine learning and Artificial Intelligence. Facebook’s FAIR (Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research) program engages with academia to assist in solving long term problems in Artificial Intelligence. Facebook is hiring AI experts around the world to assist in their project. Microsoft purchased Maluuba in January 2017, an AI company that uses machine learning for natural language processing. Google Brain is machine learning by trial and error, and Google Translate can translate writings into different languages. AI has beaten the best human competitors in the games Go, Chess, Checkers, Scrabble, Jeopardy! and the poker game No Limit Texas Hold’em.
