About this Event
Java powers much of the financial world. Now it's time to put AI to work on the JVM.
Fraud detection, risk analysis, and real-time financial decisions demand more than accurate models. They require high throughput, low latency, predictable performance, and enterprise-grade security. And they need to work with the Java applications and infrastructure already running the business.
In this session, we'll explore how modern Java delivers high-performance AI without leaving the JVM. We'll cover GPU acceleration with the Foreign Function & Memory API, CPU optimization with the Vector API, and efficient model inference for workloads where LLMs are too slow, too expensive, or the wrong tool.
Using a real-world fraud detection scenario, we'll demonstrate how Java developers can build and deploy fast, scalable AI solutions using familiar tools, frameworks, and infrastructure.
