AI4Finance Foundation is a US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing artificial intelligence in the financial sector. Our mission focuses on promoting standardized practices and developing open-source resources to benefit both researchers and industry professionals. We are committed to leading innovation and collaboration in the application of AI technologies for financial services.
Currently, our libraries have garnered significant attention, with around 27,000 Github stars and reliance from tens of thousands of projects worldwide. They represent some of the most widely utilized resources in the realm of financial machine learning.
In the short term, our goals include implementing substantial improvements to the usability, productivity, and performance of our core libraries. We aim to foster their adoption across the open-source finance ecosystem, provide ongoing maintenance and bug fixes for mature environments, and integrate more key open-source projects into our portfolio, elevating them to our standards of maturity.
For the long term, our ambitions extend to offering enhanced standardization tools for professionals engaged in applied financial tasks. This includes developing resources akin to a standardized API for financial environments, as well as broadening our suite of open-source tools beyond the foundational layers.
Our team is made up of approximately 15 core members and around 200 contributors, covering 12 time zones and coming from a variety of backgrounds. Many of our core contributors have extensive experience in the financial sector, including roles as traders, quants, research scientists, software developers, and data scientists.
