Data Science, AI and M&A

HAYO!

I was just hired as the Head of Machine Learning for a company in the M&A space. Can't say much more than that sadly.

I have two questions for you M&A experts:

1) How can AI help you in your day to day life? If you could predict/classify anything correctly, what would it be? How could AI help you manage a deal? (think document classification, automatic request list mappings, etc)

2) What intro courses would you recommend for me so that I can train up on how M&A analysts do their job? Any intro courses you recommend more than others? I need to learn about your day to day so that I can help build models that make your lives easier.

Thanks! Looking forward to learning more about this space.
