‘There is a ton of opportunity to remove really repetitive, manual tasks for IR teams’: S&P Global’s Chris Blake at the IR Impact Forum – AI & Technology Europe

One of the key benefits for IR teams hoping to use AI alongside their daily workflows is the removal of labor-intensive, repititive tasks, many proponents of the technology say.

For Chris Blake, executive director of product innovation within issuer solutions at S&P Global, it’s also about establishing how the buy side’s use of AI can also help inform how IROs can employ it successfully.

Speaking at the IR Impact Forum – AI & Technology Europe in London, Chris shared some of the talking points he had discussed during a workshop session he held titled ‘Decoding the new buy-side mindset: how sentiment analysis is evolving with AI’.
