WEF will host a roundtable on how cognitive automation that leverages a range of cutting edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques can drive increased efficiencies and enable new capabilities for financial institutions. Simultaneously, it can also improve customer experiences and facilitate a more stable and inclusive financial system. But unlocking the potential of these technologies will not be without risks or challenges. Financial institutions, regulators and policymakers will need to reflect on the collective implications of these technologies to proactively address the governance gaps that will inevitably result from a shifting competitive landscape, new systemic risks, and a changing role for humans in the financial workforce.

This roundtable discussion will assemble a senior group of financial services executives, technologists, regulators, and policymakers to discuss these issues. The results of the dialogue will provide input to a new multi-year initiative by the World Economic Forum focused on good governance frameworks for cognitive automation in the financial system.

Specifically, the session will explore how new business models are leveraging emerging technologies to simplify the design of products, processes and business architectures, how such models are created, the regulatory change driving a lot of the change, the benefits and challenges of platform-based services, what these changes mean for customer centric solutions and simplified employee processes, and how ‘open data’ could threaten incumbents’ competitive advantages.

Leathwaite: Structuring Your Executive and Non-Executive Team to Maximize Business Growth

Some big banks are deploying innovative projects looking at how RegTech solutions can reduce friction in their business. At least one firm is piloting the use of a rules engine which can speak to their internal policies and procedures, and provides an automatic alert when a rule changes as to which policy clause needs to be updated.

The ultimate destination of such initiatives might be a world in which no-one ever needs to look up a rule in a handbook again – as the rules and legal requirements would become seamlessly embedded into the workflow of the business. These exciting developments pose significant opportunities to the financial services and tech industries, and also carry risks.

A recent survey of UK start-ups found that only 16% of start-ups view an initial public offering as their likely path to exit, with a whopping 55% viewing acquisition as the long-term goal. With the UK keen to encourage “scale-ups” and the long term growth of both our technology and fintech markets – is this the best that we can do?

The London Stock Exchange and Allen & Overy have teamed up to offer a workshop on “going public”. We’ll consider when companies should be thinking about an IPO, what the options are for going public, how the process works, and how to navigate issues that are particularly relevant for fintechs, including getting yourself prepared for tough scrutiny of your regulatory model. We’ll break the workshop out into small groups to give participants a chance to drill down into the issues that really matter to them, with experts with the right track record to be able to answer tricky questions. We’ll also spend time considering how receptive the markets are to fintechs and how important it is to have a strong communications strategy to support your listing plans.

Efforts are underway across the world to refresh legacy regulatory and policy structures toaccommodate financial innovation and address the demands of an increasingly digital economy.Both regulators and policymakers are tasked with the difficult balancing act of fostering aconducive environment for financial technology (FinTech) development, while ensuring the enduser, be it an investor or borrower, remains protected. What does it take for governments torealize the potential of FinTech and begin to craft appropriate policy and regulatory frameworkssupportive of its growth? To what extent have these efforts met with success and failure? Andhow has the conversation shifted in policy and regulatory circles from viewing FinTech froma risk-averse perspective, to viewing it as a tool to address certain government mandates orinterests?
