AI in Finance 2025: Trends, Opportunities and Challenges

Best,

After previous successful sessions on the Belgian Stock Exchange, we are organizing another inspiring event this year. This time the focus is on artificial intelligence and its impact on the financial sector.

We take you through the state of AI today, with a particular focus on the geopolitical dynamics: while the U.S. is primarily betting on commercial players such as OpenAI and Anthropic, China is increasingly opting for open source models such as DeepSeek. What does this difference in approach mean for financial markets?

We also explain how we at Value Square deploy AI: no proprietary model development, but a concatenation of AI agents who bring together data from disparate sources and translate it into in-depth business analysis.

Finally, we look at how companies need to adapt their reporting to make it more readable and consistent for AI systems. Whereas the focus used to be on human readers, today it is becoming increasingly important to optimize reporting for artificial readers as well.
