Artificial Intelligence (AI) is currently a hot topic in various fields. Most agree that AI will be one of the key technologies – even on a par with Blockchain and DLT – exerting influence on the finance industry over the next few years. Yet there is a marked lack of clarity around the definition of AI. Major financial institutions and startups are experimenting with different methods of machine learning, but there is a sense that AI could go much further than that. This event will take a closer look at the potential impact of AI on the thriving Fintech ecosystems in the UK and in Switzerland.

Our keynote speaker Pascal Kaufmann is a renowned neuroscientist, entrepreneur, Founder and CXO of Starmind and an AI expert. His keynote and the subsequent panel discussion and Q&A with UK and Switzerland-based practitioners will be a fascinating addition to the ongoing debate around AI and Fintech. The evening will conclude with a networking reception with selected industry experts, the UK-Swiss business community as well as government bodies.
