1st Brazilian Workshop on Artificial Intelligence in Finance
Satellite Event of the XLII Congress of the Brazilian Computer Society
Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, August 3rd-4th, 2022.

Artificial Intelligence, and in particular Machine Learning, is a technology that is transforming how we integrate information, analyze data and make decisions, with large impact throughout our society. Advances in AI are being felt in our economy, with significant impacts in finance, including financial markets, services, and the global financial system more broadly.

The Brazilian Workshop on Artificial Intelligence in Finance (BWAIF), which will have its first edition as a satellite event of the XLII Congress of the Brazilian Computer Society, will be a forum for researchers, professionals, educators and students to present and discuss innovations, trends, experiences and evolution in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and its applications in Finance.

BWAIF will take place as a Satellite event of the SBC Congress, whose theme in 2022 is "Digital Empowerment: The Role of Computing in Building an Inclusive and Democratic Society". This theme has great relationship with the development of a society that uses digital resources for the development of inclusive platforms, aiming to allow people with less purchasing power access to financial products and where new companies focused on innovation with the use of Computing and Artificial Intelligence emerge.

Although being an event of the Brazilian Computer Society conference, with papers being accepted in English and Portuguese, we encourage the participation of the international community, with main presentations in English. The conference will be held in person, in Niteroi, a city on the other side of Guanabara Bay, where Rio de Janeiro is located. Because of the famous Museu de Arte Contemporanea, Niteroi has become a major excursion for travellers to Rio. Niteroi is also the gateway to several beautiful beaches and colonial forts. Its close proximity to Rio makes it a popular day trip complete with breathtaking views of the bay and architectural wonders.
