The HC Commodities Podcast | Ep 230 | AI, Coding and Changing Skill-Sets in Commodities with Daf Davies 🔊 Listen to the episode here: https://lnkd.in/dSEytFa4 The skillsets required to be in a commodity trading team have always been evolving. However, that evolution is accelerating in the wake of new technologies and especially AI. In this episode, we trace the changing roles and skills traders have needed over the last century and what the future holds as AI becomes ever more involved in the day-to-day activities of a trading desk. What are the skillsets of the past and their future? Are they fundamentally different? How is AI already affecting teams? And how will AI shape the careers and opportunities within the sector? Speaking to our host Paul Chapman on this episode is Daf Davies, long time commodity trader, and founder and CEO of Deus AI – a consulting firm focused on preparing companies for the commodity trading future. 🎙Apple: https://lnkd.in/dJc-e5XA 🎙Spotify: https://lnkd.in/dG54TigG #CommodityTrading #Commodities #AI
