AI and indices: What’s next? | David Sol, FTSE Russell

What this episode covers

Could AI change how we perceive ourselves and therefore how we work? Having studied AI since the 90s when it was a more obscure term, David Sol, Head of Index Policy at LSEG joins us to share his knowledge on the developments in AI from its debated origins to the present day and its potential impact. David talks about his thoughts on the increasing intelligence of AI in recent years, how developing technology could affect the labour market and if FTSE Russell is incorporating AI. David also explains FTSE Russell’s country classification framework and how benchmarks are built to filter which companies meet the criteria for certain indices.
