Course Modules

This course is comprised of the following modules. Each module is a task-based case study that requires students to prove they can apply the concepts they’ve learned.
Module 1: AI Capabilities in Finance

Explain the 7 AI capabilities and identify which are well-suited vs. poorly-suited for different finance tasks.

  • The 7 capabilities defined with finance examples: Understand, Generate, Reason, Remember, Learn, Plan, Use Tools
  • The Semantic Layer (Understand & Generate), Cognitive Layer (Reason & Remember), Agentic Layer (Learn, Plan, Use Tools)
  • Strengths vs. limitations in finance contexts

Analyze how AI transforms each stage of the finance process from assessment through monitoring.

  • AI across the ASSESS → ANALYZE → RECOMMEND → EXECUTE → MONITOR workflow
  • Task automation, predictive analysis, and decision support
  • Role shifts, operational efficiency, and real-world failure risks

Explore the six partnership patterns that define how finance professionals work with AI systems.

  • AI Assistant through Autonomous Executor partnership models
  • Human oversight, autonomy levels, and workflow fit
  • How finance roles evolve alongside intelligent systems

Understand why context — not prompting — determines AI effectiveness in finance environments.

  • The four pillars: Knowledge, Structure, Memory, and Workflows
  • RAG systems, knowledge bases, and organizational context architecture
  • Governance and maturity models for reliable AI performance

Compare the major categories of AI tools used across modern finance workflows.

  • General AI Assistants, Platform-Integrated AI, and AI-Native Finance Tools
  • Workflow integration and orchestration across tool categories
  • Strategic evaluation of finance AI technology stacks

Assess the ethical risks, compliance pressures, and governance responsibilities introduced by AI in finance.
