Has the “artificial intelligence” revolution in finance ever left you feeling like there’s more artificial than intelligence in some innovations? If so, you’re not alone – and Lynn Raebsamen is here to unpack exactly that. This May, Lynn will take the stage at CFALIVE 2025 in Chicago to cut through the hype around AI in investment management with a healthy dose of insight and humor. Her presentation, titled “Artificial Stupelligence: Cutting Through the AI Hype in Investment Management,” is scheduled for May 6, 2025 at 1:10 PM (CT) in the International Ballroom. That playful title is a nod to her debut book, Artificial Stupelligence, launching just a few days before the conference!
What is CFALIVE 2025?
CFALIVE 2025 – officially known as CFA Institute LIVE 2025 – is one of the finance industry’s most prestigious global conferences for investment thought leaders. Each year, it brings together top investment professionals and finance thought leaders from around the world to share insights and spark bold ideas. In fact, CFA Institute calls it “the must-attend event where investment professionals come together to spark bold ideas, tackle tomorrow’s challenges, and drive the financial industry forward”. In short, if you’re shaping the future of finance (or just navigating the present), CFALIVE is the place to be.
This year CFALIVE returns to Chicago (May 4–7, 2025) at the historic Hilton Chicago, with an agenda packed full of thought-provoking discussions on everything from investment strategy to cutting-edge tech. It’s essentially a front-row seat to the latest trends and debates in finance – and Lynn will be among the speakers adding her voice to the mix.
Artificial Stupelligence Launches May 1st, 2025
The timing couldn’t be better: just days before CFALIVE, Artificial Stupelligence: The Hilarious Truth About AI hits shelves on May 1st, 2025. The book takes a deeper (and funnier) dive into the world of AI, exposing its brilliance and blunders across industries.
From fraud-detection algorithms gone rogue to trading bots buying high and selling low (yes, you read right!), the book explores how AI can amaze us one moment and amuse us the next. But beyond the laughs, Artificial Stupelligence also offers an insider’s perspective on how we can navigate the AI revolution wisely. Consider it a field guide for anyone who cares about AI innovation vs hype – especially in serious fields like finance where stakes are high.
