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
