This Special Interest Group will explore how artificial intelligence is transforming financial modelling in the energy and infrastructure sectors. We will examine the integration of AI tools in forecasting, valuation, risk analysis, and scenario planning, and how these technologies can enhance decision-making, accuracy, and efficiency. We will also explore the risks associated with adoption of AI in financial modelling and how to mitigate them.

Group objectives

  • Promote awareness of how AI is reshaping financial modelling in energy and infrastructure.
  • Share best practices in modelling accuracy, efficiency, and scenario analysis using AI tools.
  • Support the development of standards and ethical frameworks for AI-enhanced modelling.
  • Analyse both the risks and benefits of integrating AI into financial modelling practices, particularly in the context of infrastructure.
  • Provide thought leadership through publications and expert panels

 

 

We’d like to hear from you

IPFA members are invited to participate in a survey created by our Special Interest Group on AI in Financial Modelling.

Its purpose is to understand current perceptions and attitudes toward the use of AI in financial modelling across three key themes: Governance & Risk, Tools & Platforms, and Skills & Training. Your input will help shape future roundtable discussions and ensure we focus on the most relevant opportunities, challenges, and areas of industry need.

As a participant, you will also receive early access to the results of the survey findings.

Thanks to our Co-Chairs from Forvis Mazars
