The so-called ‘AI gurus’ are charging a whopping sum of ₹24 lakh (about $28,000) a day to train Wall Street bankers and leading finance executives. These top-tier trainers provide highly tailored and practical training on the application of AI in trading algorithms, risk management, fraud analysis, and investment strategies.

The demand for such unique coaching has surged since the global banks are racing to incorporate AI in their working as the competition has increased. The private master classes are attracting many senior experts from Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and other top firms, who are eager to remain at the forefront in an AI-powered financial industry.
