The Convergence of AI and Fintech: Shaping the Future of Intelligent Finance

Abstract:

The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is redefining the financial landscape, driving unprecedented transformation across banking, payments, investment, and risk management. As fintech continues to integrate AI-driven solutions, the industry is witnessing increased automation, enhanced fraud detection, hyper-personalized financial services, and real-time decision-making capabilities. However, this convergence also presents challenges related to security, regulatory compliance, ethical AI, and data privacy.

In this keynote, we will explore cutting-edge advancements in AI-powered fintech, analyzing how machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI are revolutionizing financial ecosystems. We will discuss real-world use cases, including AI-driven credit scoring, predictive analytics for market trends, and blockchain-powered smart contracts. Additionally, we will examine the risks associated with AI in finance—including bias, explainability, and cybersecurity threats—while proposing strategies to ensure responsible and sustainable AI adoption.

As we stand at the intersection of AI and fintech, this session will provide insights into how businesses, regulators, and innovators can navigate this evolving landscape to create intelligent, secure, and inclusive financial solutions for the future.
