This course introduces the core ideas behind artificial intelligence and machine learning as they are applied to market and financial data. You will learn how supervised and unsupervised methods work, how financial datasets differ from typical tabular data, and why careful evaluation matters more than model complexity. The goal is to build a grounded mental model so you can read, question and prototype AI research workflows responsibly.
