Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how financial analysis is conducted. But how far can large language models really go, and where do their limits lie?In this lecture, Professor Charles C.Y. Wang examines how AI tools are transforming fundamental analysis, from navigating complex corporate disclosures to extracting insights from vast volumes of financial data.The session will explore what works, what does not, and the risks analysts need to understand when applying AI in finance. It will also feature a live demonstration of an AI-driven workflow that compresses hours of traditional analysis, including valuation and strategy synthesis, into minutes.
