Entering the Age of Cognitive Markets : Armando Gonzalez, Founder & CEO Ravenpack Fordham Keynote

QuantVision 2026: Fordham’s Quantitative Conference
Finance has entered an exponential era, where progress accelerates faster than institutions can adapt through linear thinking. This keynote explores what it means to operate in the age of cognitive markets, an era in which intelligence becomes a scalable resource, workflows turn cognitive rather than procedural, and markets co-evolve with autonomous reasoning systems. We examine how agentic AI is reshaping discovery, risk, research, and market structure, and why firms must re-architect around intelligence rather than merely “implement AI.”
