AI and Machine Learning Revolutionize ESG Analytics

If you’re an asset manager or investor, how would you like to be able to go through the roughly 150 million studies out there, and compare them with each other to target specific ESG data? My guest, Patrick Uribe, is the CEO of Util, a FinTech startup that uses Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to map and measure the impact of every company in the world on over 2,000 sustainability themes. We talk about how having access to this amount of data gives investors a clear picture of a company’s revenue stream: the entire financial and non-financial ecosystem. While AI and machine learning favor large companies right now, Uribe believes that over time both these technologies will improve the timeliness and quality of data for smaller companies as well.
