In April, Digits' expert machine-learning team was invited to conduct a lecture at the University of Washington. The event occurred at the Foster School of Business and was attended by a mixed crowd of students and faculty alike.

75 students flocked to the lecture, demonstrating the growing interest in these ground-breaking technologies, such as machine learning, that are paving future paths in finance. Undeniably, the turnout indicated the growing curiosity about practical applications of machine learning in the world of finance.

The lecture provided an overview of machine learning and Generative AI (GenAI) and explored their impacts in the finance sector. Attendees delved deep into understanding GenAI's specific use cases in finance, with our team sharing their exhaustive research findings and experienced insights to provide a wider perspective of GenAI's potential role in revolutionizing traditional accounting methods.

The University of Washington's proactive approach in inviting the Digits team and the hearty attendance underlines the increasing investment and gravitation towards AI technologies in finance. This trend is expected to continue as technology continues to weave its way into the world of finance.
