This presentation investigates how AI is changing our realities, and looks at what that means for all of us, and particularly our money. A critical question arises around identity, authentication, verification and trust. How do you prove that you are you?
In a wide-ranging exploration of these themes, fintech gives some answers. What are they?

Everything is becoming smart and connected, from our homes to our cars to our clothes. How does this change business, how we think and how we pay? If everything has GPT in its name, does that mean we have far less people working? If everything is decentralised, who regulates the system? How can you be artificially intelligent if you have dumb data?
This presentation looks at the key technologies coming downstream from artificial intelligence to artificial super intelligence, from cloud computing to quantum computing and from cryptocurrencies to central bank digital currencies. The big question it tries to answer is the role of centralised institutions in a decentralised world.

Who cares about the money of the future? Why should I care about the money of the future? These questions, and more, are addressed in depth in Intelligent Money. As money becomes digital, it will revolutionise everything.
By 2030, digital money will make money personal, individualise currency and its usage, make it secure, enable it to grow automatically to meet our personal goals, manage risk automatically and make life simpler and easier for all. The most critical aspect of this book is HOW money will become intelligent, both digitally and artificially.
The bottom line is that money will soon be embedded, intelligent, invisible and everywhere. It’s a whole new world.

Finance has changed massively in the past years thanks to the rise of cloud computing and the mobile network. For the traditional institutions, this means a radical overhaul of the analogue business model. For the new firms of fintech, it has offered a massive opportunity to digitalise the industry.
How will this all turn out? What is the future? How should a traditional firm invest and prioritise to be digital? How should a start-up work out their way to success? This presentation takes you through all the nuances of the past, present and future of banking, finance and technology, and how to navigate a way to winning.
