While the investment industry has been quick to embrace artificial intelligence, organizations and leaders in the corporate world have been slower to understand and incorporate these concepts in their interactions with the market.
One area where this disparity is perhaps most keenly felt is in the field of company earnings calls. Many portfolio managers and research analysts now regularly use natural language processing algorithms to analyze these earnings calls, from basic fact and consistency checks to sentiment analysis and truth detection, all the way to prediction of future share price performance.
Even though this clearly has important implications for the way CEOs and CFOs prepare for and conduct their earnings calls, it is not an area which is typically well-understood or actively addressed by companies.
