Advanced Transformation in Digital Banking and Evolution of Artificial Intelligence 2024
PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
The financial and banking industry has undergone a significant digital transformation in 2023. This transformation has been driven by a renewed focus on risk management, macroeconomic uncertainty, and a commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns. Automation has also played a role in this development. Technology will continue to be at the forefront of this transformation in 2024.
While generative AI (GenAI) is still in its early stages, the banking industry has made significant progress in adopting decentralized finance (DeFi). As a result, the focus is shifting away from cryptocurrencies and towards DeFi becoming mainstream. This will enable more people to use it online with established banks and regulated entities, simplifying cross-border payments.
Fintech companies will explore ways to integrate DeFi into their day-to-day operations, and digital currencies will see broader adoption as they become more legitimate, further embedding them into society. The momentum for regulated digital currencies will continue to grow in 2024 as banks look to incorporate this into their architecture, making it the new norm. However, there are still technical challenges to overcome to ensure that blockchain-based solutions can meet the needs of banks and customers, such as real-time payment processing.
This course has been specifically designed to tackle the challenges faced by banking professionals. It aims to provide them with the necessary information and context to comprehend the significance of digitalization in their business model. The course covers the global digital landscape and the drivers of fintech, including mobile banking, blockchain, and AI. It then explores Africa's digital banking landscape in depth, showcasing the diverse fintech innovations that are being utilized for corporates, SMEs, and consumers across the continent.
The course is designed to be highly interactive, with numerous opportunities for participants to discuss the topics covered in the course and relate them directly to their own work and experience in banking.
