AI in Finance 2025: Trends, Opportunities, and Challenges

Dear,

After previous successful sessions about the Belgian stock exchange, we are organizing another inspiring event this year. This time, artificial intelligence and its impact on the financial sector are key.

We'll take you into the state of AI today, with a special focus on geopolitical dynamics: while the US mainly focuses 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 the financial markets?

In addition, we explain how we use AI at Value Square: not our own model development, but a series of AI agents that bring data from various sources together and translate it into in-depth business analyses.

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