The half day workshop on Wednesday 30th September is complimentary to all delegates: 13.45 – 17.15
Course Overview
AI model risk is a new discipline, where regulatory requirements and best practices borrow heavily from other types of model risk. The practices adopted from traditional model risk management (MRM) are not always capable of dealing with the unique characteristics and challenges of AI model risk. Effective measurement, reporting and mitigation of AI model risk requires combining novel, AI-specific risk metrics and techniques with traditional risk management practices.
In the first part of the course, Alexander Sokol will present practical and effective techniques for the quantitative measurement and reporting of AI model risk using both well-established and novel metrics. In the second part, Alexander will leverage his award winning research on behavioural psychology of AI to describe practical and effective techniques for mitigating AI model risk and increasing reliability of AI-based workflows.
- Implement AI-based workflows based on use cases of practical
importance to banking and asset management - Measure aleatoric and epistemic risk of these workflows
- Mitigate the sources of both types of risk
- Measure the resulting improvements in model risk and reliability metrics
Learning Outcomes
- Understand quantitative measurement and reporting of AI model risk
- Learn the key metrics for the accuracy and reliability of AI
- Learn how to mitigate AI model risk using advanced techniques
from behavioural psychology - Learn to design reliable AI-based workflows

Alexander Sokol: Head of Quant Research, CompatibL
Alexander Sokol is the founder, Executive Chairman, and Head of Quant Research at CompatibL, a trading and risk technology company. He is also a co-founder of Numerix, where he served as CTO from 1996 to 2003.
Alexander won the 2018 Quant of the Year Award together with Leif Andersen and Michael Pykhtin for their joint work revealing the true scale of the settlement gap risk that remains in the presence of initial margin. Alexander’s other notable research contributions include systemic wrong-way risk (with Michael Pykhtin), joint measure models and the local price of risk (with John Hull and Alan White), the use of autoencoder manifolds for interest rate modelling (with Andrei Lyashenko and Fabio Mercurio), and the mean reversion skew.
Alexander graduated from high school at the age of 14 and earned a PhD from the L.D. Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics at the age of 22. He was the winner of the USSR Academy of Sciences Medal for Best Student Research of the Year in 1988.
