Why Toronto is the Global Hub for Financial AI

Mark Paulsen (Technical Project Manager at FINOS) explores Toronto’s legacy as the birthplace of deep learning and its impact on modern financial AI. He discusses why financial institutions must "default to open" and collaborate on the core technologies—open science and open source—that define the industry’s future.

3:05 Call 1: Remember Your Legacy
3:20 Call 2: Default to Open
3:35 Call 3: Collaborate on the Core

📊 The Problem: The Direction of "Black Box" AI As AI becomes ubiquitous, there is a risk of losing track of where these technologies originated. For financial institutions, adopting AI without understanding its "open science" roots leads to a lack of transparency and a dependency on proprietary systems that are difficult to audit or verify.

🏗️ The Solution: The Toronto-Open Source Connection
Mark argues that the industry must reclaim its role as a steward of innovation by following the "Open Science" model that started in Toronto:
* Respect the Legacy: Acknowledge that the foundations of modern AI (Deep Learning) were built in Toronto’s classrooms and labs and shared via open science.
* Default to Open: Shift the institutional mindset to prioritize open source as the primary way to solve shared industry challenges.
* Collaborate on the Core: Following industry leaders, banks should mutualize the "core" of their technology stack to accelerate the rollout of responsible AI.

The takeaway: You are in the right place at the right time. Mark Paulsen proves that by defaulting to open and collaborating on the core, Toronto’s financial community can lead the next wave of AI innovation.

Meet FiveSpot: RBC’s New High-Performance Compute Project

Hitesh Kamdar (Head of Capital Markets Architecture at RBC Capital Markets) discusses why open source is now a strategic differentiator for global banks. He announces the contribution of FiveSpot, RBC’s homegrown HPC orchestrator, and explores the role of automated architecture (CALM) and AI governance in modern financial engineering.

🕒 Timestamps:
0:00 Welcome to OSFF Toronto
0:35 Open Source as a Strategic Differentiator
1:35 RBC’s Expanding Open Source Footprint
1:55 CALM: Automating the Architecture Lifecycle
2:45 CDM: Standardizing Financial Data Transmission
3:30 Tools for UI and Contribution: FDC3 & Get Proxy
3:55 AI Governance: Ensuring Safety and Soundness
4:15 Announcing FiveSpot: RBC’s Homegrown HPC Project
5:45 The Mission: From "Future" to "Present"
6:45 The 2030 Vision: GenAI and Regulation
7:45 Call to Action: Adopt and Contribute

📊 The Problem: The "Side Project" Perception Historically, open source in banking was often viewed as a peripheral cost-saving measure. This led to a "governance gap" where complex requirements—particularly in high-performance compute and risk calculations—were handled by fragmented, proprietary stacks that lacked the scalability required for modern capital markets.

🏗️ The Solution: Architecture-as-Code & Project FiveSpot
Hitesh outlines RBC’s evolution from a consumer of open source to a primary contributor of foundational infrastructure:
* Project FiveSpot: RBC’s first homegrown contribution to FINOS—an orchestrator for High-Performance Compute (HPC) that manages workloads across cloud and on-prem with deterministic performance.
* Architecture Transformation (CALM): Leveraging the CALM project to ensure that technical standards and architecture are as automated as code generation within the SDLC.
* Standardizing Data (CDM): Utilizing the Common Domain Model to ensure trades are transmitted internally and to regulators in a consistent, unified way.

The takeaway: Finance is no longer "going" open; it is open. Hitesh Kamdar proves that contributing back projects like FiveSpot is the key to achieving real business outcomes and financial resilience.
