Chair and Chief Executive Officer of @Nasdaq

New York, NY
Today we commemorate the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, a day that forever changed New York City and our nation. We remember the thousands of lives lost, the families forever changed, and the countless acts of courage that emerged from one of our nation's darkest days. Like so many across New York, @Nasdaq carries its own memory of September 11th. Our former headquarters at One Liberty Plaza stood just steps from the World Trade Center. A quarter of a century later, the passage of time has not diminished the weight of that loss. We honor those who were taken from us by carrying their memory forward and by drawing inspiration from the strength and resilience of a community that helped a city begin to heal. This morning we were honored to welcome the @FDNY and @FDNYFoundation to Nasdaq as we recognized the courage and sacrifice of the first responders who answered the call on September 11th, including the 343 FDNY members who made the ultimate sacrifice. Their legacy remains woven into the fabric of this city. Twenty-five years later, we remain steadfast in our promise to Never Forget.

This morning, @Nasdaq rang the opening bell at the @WhiteHouse alongside the NYSE to mark the first market trading day for @TrumpAccounts. At Nasdaq, we believe that when more people have a personal stake in the economy, it grows stronger and more resilient. Today, we took a historic step toward that promise – ensuring that the next generation of Americans have a genuine opportunity to participate in the value our economy creates. Thank you to President Trump (@POTUS) for your vision and dedication to this incredibly important initiative.

Recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence are rightly seen as a step change in our technology economy. While calls for caution and proactive regulation are appropriate – so are the calls for urgency and optimism as we empower industries to start harnessing the potential of the AI advances. This starts with recognizing that all AI is not created equal. Nasdaq uses AI for predictive market maintenance — preventing disruptions before they occur — and we are embedding AI in different stages across our operations. It is particularly important for our anti-financial crime software division. Within the world of finance, AI’s capacity to help detect, deter and stop financial crime is perhaps the most compelling use case of the technology. Here are my thoughts on the power of AI, how @Nasdaq leverages the technology and financial crime in the @FT:

"We should expect in the first 3-4 months we'll have a pretty known interest rate environment," says @Nasdaq Chairman and CEO @adenatfriedman. "If we can get to that point, we can operate in that place for a long time. I think we're going to end up even skirting a recession."
