Embracing AI: The Productivity Polarity - Kevin Alwell, GitHub

Tuesday October 1, 2024 11:10am - 11:40am EDT

Royale + Plymouth

In this thought-provoking presentation, we explore the profound impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on software development within the financial services industry. Drawing parallels with historical technological revolutions that reshaped economies, such as the Roman water mills, the steam engine, and the early 2000s push for automation, we demonstrate how AI is poised to be the ultimate general-purpose technology of our time. We delve into the economic and technological implications of AI adoption, highlighting how it drives increased productivity, cost reductions, and an unprecedented expansion of demand for innovative financial products and services. The presentation underscores the emerging productivity polarity, where those who embrace AI will gain a significant competitive advantage over those who resist its integration. Recognizing the pivotal role of open source in driving innovation within the finance sector, we emphasize the urgency for technologists to seamlessly incorporate AI into their daily workflows. By doing so, developers can position themselves as vanguards, fostering collaboration and unlocking new frontiers in open finance software development.

Deploy TraderX Across Clouds Using the New CNCF Project, Radius - Jonathan Smith & Will Tsai, Microsoft

Tuesday October 1, 2024 11:10am - 11:40am EDT

Broadway Ballroom North

Radius is a new Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project. It is a cloud-native application platform that enables developers and platform engineers who support them to collaborate on delivering and managing cloud-native applications that follow corporate best practices for security, cost and operations by default. It supports deploying applications across private cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure, with more cloud providers to come. This talk will show how easy it is to deploy and manage a popular open-source trading application, TraderX, to multi-cloud environments without requiring the developer to configure cloud-specific infrastructure. The session will also illustrate how Radius enables better collaboration across developers and operators through features like: the Radius application dashboard, which provides developers and operators a common graphical view of TraderX, as deployed across clouds and; Radius Recipes, which give TraderX developers self-serve access to cloud resources, such as SQL databases, while enabling operators to define and enforce best practices for security, cost and operations regarding how cloud resources are consumed.

Securing Your AI Project: From Guidelines to Practical Implementation - Torin van den Bulk, Control Plane

Tuesday October 1, 2024 11:50am - 12:20pm EDT

Royale + Plymouth

When leveraging AI in financial services, there are new technologies and security challenges to tackle in addition to the usual DevOps and scaling considerations. As now exists several sources of information for AI security best practices, we are not left on our own. But practically applying them in your project is not so well described. In this talk, Rowan Baker and Vicente Herrera will explain how to start with a security guideline recommendation like the “Simple Governance Framework” from the FINOS AI Readiness Group and apply it to a real project They will show how to transform the recommendations into real actions and how specific controls or mitigations have been chosen and implemented in a practical way. Some approaches may be conventional but important, like those regarding supply chain security, others will be more AI specific and novel. They will also show how the guidelines may not cover specific implementation, how to extend the coverage and contribute back so others benefit from the knowledge you have gained.

Leveraging FDC3 to Enable AI Agent Navigation - Sara Swanson; Lokeshwar Manoharan; Ajay Mehta & Abhishek Pandey, JPMorgan Chase

Tuesday October 1, 2024 11:50am - 12:20pm EDT

Music Box

In this session, you will learn how we have enabled AI Agent Navigation across our financial desktop platform.

Well-defined FDC3 intents can enable generative navigation, improving the Copilot experience on our platform, Connect Coach. FDC3 standards have enhanced interoperability between financial applications, allowing seamless communication and data sharing. However, discovering specific actions or operations (intents) remains challenging, causing friction in user experiences. Our Connect Platform has over 500 intents based on user navigation patterns and demands. We have integrated Large Language Models (LLMs) into the intent discovery process to increase user efficiency. LLMs can interpret user needs expressed in natural language and determine the most relevant intents.

Learn more about how we did this and our vision to use FDC3 to enable a "self-driving" experience for our users.

Unveiling Hidden Gems: Leveraging Product Management Talents for Open Source Innovation - Neetu Jain, JP Morgan Chase

Tuesday October 1, 2024 11:50am - 12:20pm EDT

Winter Garden

Open-source software has transformed technology, but many projects struggle with sustainability and user satisfaction due to the absence of structured product management. Despite their technical excellence, projects often fail to achieve broad adoption because they do not adequately understand or address users' needs. Product managers can fill this gap by developing user personas, creating journey maps, improving onboarding, evangelizing the project, and managing development processes. This talk highlights how product management can play an critical role in open source, by addressing issues like resource constraints, adoption, governance, and volunteer reliance with strong product management principles. Attendees walk out with a good understanding of how product professionals fill a crucial gap in open source through real life examples and actionable strategies of integrating product management into open source, which will help in fostering community engagement, ensuring sustainability, and driving project success. Embracing product practice can unlock an untapped stream of contributors of product professionals resulting in thriving, user + goal focused open source projects.

Building and Running an HPC Grid Using Cloud Native Services - Flamur Gogolli & Kirill Bogdanov, Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Tuesday October 1, 2024 1:35pm - 2:05pm EDT

Uris + Schubert

Running a high-performance computing platform is completely different as you move to the cloud. The emphasis on rapid, intelligent task scheduling to maximise the use of static on-premises compute clusters and the need to provide multi-tenancy at the cluster-level goes away. In this session, we will present HTC-Grid, an open-source high-throughput compute (HTC) grid system built on top of tried and tested cloud native services. HTC-Grid recognises that the game has changed and that the traditional schedulers often employed in financial services solve a problem that doesn't exist anymore. HTC-Grid addresses massive computational demands by combining very high-throughput scheduling, low round-trip latency and seamless infrastructure orchestration. HTC-Grid incorporates learnings from many FSI customers re-inventing their grid systems for the cloud. The project was initially developed as an open-source blueprint by AWS, but has been donated to FINOS in order to share the obtained knowledge, provide a reference architecture that can be used to build and adapt a modern high-throughput compute solution, and to incorporate contributions from customers and other CSPs alike.

At the end of this thirty minute hands-on walkthrough, we will have created an enterprise grade FDC3 application. It will look amazing and demonstrate true value to a front office user. We will show that FDC3 is nothing to be intimidated by and that your existing web development skills will enable to you build something fantastic without a massive learning curve. FDC3 is an exciting technology which promises to revolutionise how capital market users consume software. The basic concepts of FDC3 are relatively simple but developers are sometimes put off by the myriad of vendors, libraries and swathes of documentation. Engineers recently introduced to FDC3 can find the learning curve frustrating compared to more familiar front end technologies. In this session, we will take participants through the process of building a simple but useful FDC3 compliant component using the Genesis platform. We will then show how that component can be used to compose a realistic capital markets application.

Adapting Open Source License Practices in the Age of LLMs - Brian Warner & Tanya Courcey, Fidelity Investments

Tuesday October 1, 2024 2:15pm - 2:45pm EDT

Winter Garden

For many years, the landscape of open source licensing seemed stable and predictable. However, the advent of large language models (LLMs) has introduced new licenses and raised numerous questions about the application of existing open source licenses. At Fidelity, our Open Source Program Office (OSPO) and legal team have evolved our processes to navigate these changes and better understand what they require of us. This session will provide a practical case study and an accessible discussion on how OSPOs and legal teams can collaborate effectively in this evolving landscape.

Re-imagining Test in the Era of GenAI - Marcus Merrell, Sauce Labs

Tuesday October 1, 2024 2:15pm - 2:45pm EDT

Royale + Plymouth

Test automation has been around for a while now, but teams are still having trouble adopting it--particularly in finance and finserv applications. Historically, there are three exceedingly complex questions when testing these applications, which are made far more complex when migrating to automated tests: data generation, complex workflow coverage, and regulatory compliance. In this talk, Marcus will showcase the myriad ways Generative AI can help solve these three complexities, and will introduce several other risk factors you have to account for when adopting LLMs. Everyone is trying to reconcile where and how AI fits into the new world of software development. Come join this talk to explore both the opportunities and downsides, and how to stay above the hype-cycle.

Paying Maintainers to Improve Open Source Security Outcomes. a Case Study. - Donald Fischer, Tidelift

Tuesday October 1, 2024 2:15pm - 2:45pm EDT

Broadway Ballroom North

Most efforts to improve the security of the open source software supply chain revolve around finding and remediating vulnerabilities, and an entire industry has been built around vulnerability patch management. But there is another way to improve open source security outcomes proactively instead of waiting for vulnerabilities to appear: paying maintainers to ensure their projects follow secure software development practices. In this session, Donald Fischer, CEO, Tidelift, shares the results of a recent program where maintainers were paid recurring income to validate that their projects follow secure software development practices ( i.e. Open SSF Scorecards, NIST SSDF). Among other findings, this experiment resulted in projects improving their OpenSSF Scorecards scores by an average of 57%. Donald will also share data from a new open source maintainer survey showing what additional practices maintainers are willing to implement when they are paid for their work. He will also provide strategies financial services organizations interested in reducing supply chain risk from open source packages can use to make open source maintainers part of their security strategy.

GenAI Use Cases, From PoC to Production - Sergio Gago Huerta, Moody's

Tuesday October 1, 2024 3:05pm - 3:35pm EDT

Royale + Plymouth

Generative AI has plenty of use cases in Finance. From the customer support on the front office, to research, business analysis and optimization of investment cases. However most companies get stuck at the "Proof of concept" stage. While it is relatively quick to create a demo with a "Wow effect", building the right pipelines, governance, security and controls and in general get the buy in and approvals from legal and compliance teams is extremely hard. In this presentation we will show a detailed runbook on how to leverage Generative AI cases at scale in the organization, from the perspective of the first company that delivered a production application in the market. We will review how to build an open innovation system that promotes collaboration in what we called "The era of the 14.000 innovators" where every employee became a prompt engineer. And how we harnessed that power to put dozens of use cases in production (internal and external) as well as the edge research on agents and beyond.

Realizing Operating Efficiency with CDM and LLM - Daniel Schwartz, FT Advisory & Plamen Neykov, CLOUDRISK Limited

Tuesday October 1, 2024 3:05pm - 3:35pm EDT

Music Box

As its adoption increases, CDM will become central to the opportunity for Capital Markets to use standards to drive operating efficiency. It is no surprise that the result of shared common data and event modeling will reduce complexity whether in terms of operations or technology support. Our session explores how to realize these efficiencies with a proposed microservices based reference architecture that leverages the standard internally and externally and aligns with modern database technology. The result will be a new collaborative distributed processing model. In addition, since firms are likely to utilize their own proprietary data models for specific use cases, a critical component of this architecture is the ability to transform back and forth between those internal models and the standard. To facilitate navigating and aligning to those internal models, we leverage an LLM trained in CDM to simplify the identification of relevant data elements and support their bi-directional mappings. The key intent is to use the LLM to understand the structure of CDM vs internal models and, thereby, create mappings either directly or by generating code and assisting software engineers.

From InnerSource to Open Source - Javier Alvarez, Discover Financial Services

Tuesday October 1, 2024 3:05pm - 3:35pm EDT

Winter Garden

InnerSource is a common topic in many organizations, often discussed in the context of enhancing team collaboration and resource utilization. While numerous teams have embraced this model from a product perspective, we recognized an opportunity to focus on a different set of assets aimed at component reuse. Our approach at Discover goes beyond the traditional product approach. We noticed a gap where valuable reusable components are created, yet they fall outside the scope of any single product team. To address this, we have implemented an internal open-source model, encouraging a community-driven development framework.

Discover has pioneered a Foundation model, inspired by open-source principles, designed to foster collaboration, incubate innovation, and govern the development of reusable components built and shared across organizational boundaries. This model includes our internal requirements for maintaining products and libraries, standardizing delivery through pipelines, and community-driven governance structure that ensure the sustainability and scalability of these assets across the organization.

Our strategy focuses on building a culture that supports InnerSource development within the company, encouraging collaboration beyond individual product teams. By leveraging open-source principles, we aim to create elasticity in resource capacity and cultivate a thriving ecosystem of reusable components that benefit the entire company.

OS-Climate: Physical Risk - Where Traditional & Sustainable Finance Converge - Johnny Mattimore & David Kelly BIP Group

Tuesday October 1, 2024 3:05pm - 3:35pm EDT

Broadway Ballroom North

Business Use Case: Mortgages & Flood Risk
In this presentation, we will demonstrate how to practically integrate physical risks such as flood, fire, and wind into the core systems and workflows of lenders. Our live user case will be on the impact of Flood Risk on Residential Mortgage lending, showcasing an end-to-end workflow that addresses this critical issue.
Key Objectives
Our session will explore core activities, including data and model sourcing, ingestion, normalisation, calibration, and end-user adoption. We'll explore how these processes can be applied to crucial tasks such as management and regulatory reporting, analysis for business decision-making, and risk and finance capital and solvency management.
Technical Challenges Solved
To solve this complex problem, we've addressed several major technical challenges. First, we've achieved Frictionless Data Integration by leveraging the work completed by OS-Climate members to manage data sourcing and curation through their Data Mesh initiative.
Next, we've ensured Frictionless Application Integration by delivering solutions that adhere to the
FDC3 (FINOS) desktop interoperability standard, accelerating end-user testing and adoption. We've also focused on Product Alignment and extension, integrating OS-Climate Functional Componentry with market-leading commercial offerings. Lastly, we've encouraged the use of Open and Commercial Components, promoting best-in-class commercial data and model products through open APIs and OS-Data contributions for enhanced end-user access.
Why It Matters
In recent decades, there has been a noticeable increase in the frequency and scale of damage to physical assets. Given that these assets represent one of the greatest stores of wealth globally, any potential degradation in their values could have serious economic consequences. This issue extends beyond individual firms, potentially affecting the viability of markets, challenging regulators, and impacting governments on a systemic level.
Advantages for Financial Institutions
By adopting our approach, financial services organisations can swiftly translate C-level strategic goals into tangible changes across business lines and group functions. This method offers substantial improvements in several key areas: dramatically reduced time to market, enhanced scalability of solutions, higher rates of end-user adoption, and significant reductions in both build and maintenance costs.
Financial institutions can position themselves at the forefront of industry innovation in addressing
the convergence of traditional and sustainable finance through physical risk integration. This
proactive stance enables them to effectively manage emerging challenges while capitalising on
new opportunities in an increasingly complex market landscape.
