LEVERAGING NATURAL INTELLIGENCE in
Digital Finance
In an era where Artificial Intelligence (AI) dominates discussionsabout the future of finance, our event, 'Leveraging Natural Intelligence in Digital Finance,' brings a fresh perspective by highlighting the indispensablerole of human insight, creativity, and ethical judgment in shaping the digitalfinance landscape. Our program is designed to explore how financialinstitutions and fintech companies can harness natural intelligence—our innate human capabilities and intuition—to complement AI technologies, drive innovation, and create more sustainable, customer-centric financialsolutions. Through a series of keynote speeches, panel discussions,and workshops, participants will delve into strategies for integrating human and artificialintelligence, ethical considerations in digital finance, and the power of human-led design thinking in solving complex financialchallenges.
4 THEMES PROGRAMME
Let's explore LEVERAGING NATURAL INTELLIGENCE through the 4 following themes
Programme
1. AUGMENTED FINANCE: BEYOND PAYMENTS
Payment remains a key aspect of digital finance,continuously evolving from instant paymentsto Request to Pay. However, the future extends beyond payments. The imminent expansion of financial data access, surpassing what PSD2 offers, and the growing development of BaaS solutions are shaping the industry. In additionto recent advancementsin payment systems, our speakers will share their insightson the evolution of the bankingworld, the role of neobanks and BaaS providers, as well as the challengesand regulatory expectations that are soon to be implemented.
Programme
2. LEVERING REGULATION FOR EXPANSION
While regulation is still rapidly evolving within the European Union, the effects of those alreadyin place have yet to be fully realised.
Beyond discussing the current prudential landscape in payments, our speakers will address the obstaclesand opportunities that European regulations create.
The panel will also explore how adherence to these stringent standardsnot only prepares companies for global regulatory challengesbut also strengthens their reputation, trust, and competitive advantage.
Programme
3. LEVERAGING NATURAL INTELLIGENCE
Human resources remain vital in the economic world, especially in our industry. From the challenge of finding talent to strengthen our workforce to equipping existing staff with the skills to fully leverage AI tools, the challenge of utilising natural intelligenceis significant.
Our speakers will share their experiences on thistopic, while also discussing the connectionbetween the people within our organisations and the growing expectationsand requirements surrounding ESG standards.
Programme
4. THE POWER OF DATA
This session will show the transformativeimpact of data analytics,big data, and ethicaldata use in crafting financial servicesthat are both innovative,customercentric and compliant with the regulation. Natural intelligence is still requested to interpret and use artificialintelligencein analysingthe vast amounts of data that are available.
