ABOUT THE EPISODE
NFL Week 1 can create instant hype, panic, and major changes to power rankings. But which results actually matter?

Tej Seth, data scientist, explains how NFL analysts separate real trends from early-season noise. He explores why offensive scheme can be more predictive than one game's box score, why turnovers should be downweighted, and how analysts adjust projections after surprising performances.

The conversation also looks at the Ravens' offensive changes, the Chiefs' running game, the 49ers-Rams matchup, and the key tests ahead for NFL contenders.

AI is reshaping quantitative finance — from how investors analyze information to how they build models, identify signals and make decisions.

In the first episode of our new four-part Future of Finance series, Wharton's Nikolai Roussanov and Goldman Sachs' Ingrid Tierens join host and Wharton finance professor Itay Goldstein to explore where AI is changing the field, where human judgment still matters, and what the next era of quantitative finance could look like.

#futureoffinance #quantitativefinance #quantfinance #goldmansachs #aiinfinance

ABOUT THE EPISODE
Private credit has attracted billions from investors looking for higher returns. But what happens when they all want their money back?

Itay Goldstein, Wharton Professor of Finance, explains the liquidity risk inside semi-liquid private credit funds. He examines why funds holding illiquid loans can struggle to meet redemption demands, how AI-driven concerns over software borrowers intensified recent pressure, and why new investment flows can dry up at the exact moment investors seek to exit.

The conversation also considers what liquidity really means for private credit investors, the risks of expanding these products to retail investors, and how funds can better prepare for periods of financial stress.

Joao Gomes, Professor of Finance and Vice Dean of Research at the Wharton School, explains why demographics, productivity, and the US competition with China make the AI boom too important to slow down.

The AI boom could transform the economy, but could the way it is being financed create the next major financial crisis?

Gomes explains the parallels with the housing crisis and internet boom, the growing role of private credit, and why the Fed needs to rethink how it monitors financial stability.
