Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword; it is a massive financial force. OpenAI has reached a staggering $852 billion valuation after closing a $122 billion funding round, the stakes for investors and analysts have never been higher.

In this talk, Professor Kasper Meisner Nielson will lead us to explore how the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping company valuations and investor expectations in financial markets. Drawing parallels to past market bubbles like the dot-com boom, we will analyze whether AI is creating inflated valuations. 

The session will also address the unique challenges of valuing AI companies, including the uncertainty of future earnings, intellectual property, and the risk of technological obsolescence. 

In this session, you will learn about
•    Basic valuation tools and techniques
•    Practical application of valuation to business cases
•    Valuation of growth options and technology
•    What you can (and cannot) learn about business cases from valuation techniques

The MSGF Admissions team will be onsite before and after the seminar, providing a valuable opportunity for you to ask questions about the program and seek guidance on your application.
