Machine Learning Meets Market Turbulence as Risk Control Tightens
As machine learning accelerates across financial services, its weakest point remains financial market time series, where noise, regime shifts and short histories undermine model stability. Peter Quell argues that banks must fundamentally rethink validation, data strategy and model classification frameworks to ensure ML behaves reliably under stress. The challenge is not enthusiasm for AI, but disciplined governance that keeps pace with markets that refuse to stand still.
