Igor Tulchinsky
Investor and Author, Founder of WorldQuant
As algorithms get better and better at predicting future actions, our world is changing fundamentally: neither crime-fighting nor individual health monitoring works the same way as it used to. And there is probably no one better than Igor Tulchinsky at explaining how this is changing the way we perceive risk – without us even noticing this shift! Igor is an investor and author, the founder and CEO of WorldQuant, a global quantitative asset management firm, and the founder of WorldQuant University, a not-for-profit that offers tuition-free education in financial engineering. At Brain Bar, he’s helping us all decide whether AI and big data lead to a safer or a more dangerous life.
