Humans Remain Central to Quant Investing, AI Should Assist [KIW 2026]

At KIW 2026, discussion focused on the role of artificial intelligence in quant investing. The central message was that the most important element in quant investment is not technology itself, but people. AI can help process and analyze large amounts of information, but final responsibility for investment judgment and strategic direction should remain with humans. The discussion comes as AI use expands across financial investment, underscoring the need for human interpretation and control rather than relying only on algorithms and data. In future quant strategies, AI is expected to be most important as an assistant, not a replacement. Source: hankyung.com
