Morgan Lewis provides a comprehensive overview of the use of artificial intelligence in the investment management industry across Asia. Financial firms in the region are increasingly adopting AI for algorithmic trading, portfolio management, risk assessment and customer service chatbots. These technologies offer enhanced efficiency, sophisticated data analysis and personalized investment strategies, driving a competitive push for AI integration.

The article also highlights significant regulatory scrutiny from authorities in key Asian hubs such as Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan. While regulators encourage innovation, they focus on mitigating risks like algorithmic bias, lack of transparency and explainability, cybersecurity vulnerabilities and ensuring robust governance and human oversight. Investment managers are advised to stay abreast of jurisdiction-specific developments and implement strong internal risk management frameworks to ensure their use of AI remains both effective and compliant.
