AI in Finance: From Models to Agents: Building Evaluation-Centric, Risk-Aware AI for Finance
Speaker: Bhaskarjit Sarma (Head of AI Research at Domyn, Former Director & Principal Data Scientist at BlackRock)
Location: Courant Institute / Warren Weaver Hall, Room 109
Date: Friday, May 1, 2026
In this talk, Bhaskarjit Sarma will discuss how agentic AI is shifting finance from static model pipelines to autonomous systems that plan, act, and operate in dynamic environments. He will cover how these systems are designed, evaluated, and governed in practice, with a focus on non-determinism, cascading errors, and real-time risk. The session will also introduce an evaluation-driven framework and share perspective on how roles in AI, analytics, and product are evolving, along with the skills students need in this space.
