Some studies estimate that about 50 per cent of today\u2019s tasks would be assisted by AI in the next 20 years. With Singapore and London gaining recognition as leading fintech hubs of the world, it is timely for NP and CFTE to launch an industry-led course that provides finance professionals and others a practical guide to AI.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mr Huy Nguyen Trieu, co-founder of CFTE, said in a recent interview to eFinancialcareers:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;You will also see that a lot more can be automated in future. If you want to keep your job, you need to question both what your role will be in this automated future, and what impact artificial intelligence will have on your area of the business.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Through this course, both NP and CFTE hope to support and to nurture talent in fintech and to boost fintech development in their respective regions and around the world.<\/p>\n<h3>Educating the banking industry<\/h3>\n<p>OCBC Bank has been one of the <strong>early bank to show interest<\/strong> for such programme, committing up to <strong>1,000 training places<\/strong> to <strong>equip its employees with skills<\/strong> that are relevant to the future economy. As said by Ms Yap Aye Wee, Head of Learning &amp; Development, Group Human Resources at OCBC Bank:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThanks to our pool of skilled employees, OCBC Bank has successfully rolled out initiatives like AI-powered chatbots Emma, for home loans, and Buddy, for employee\u2019s HR related queries. The AIF programme will help us build on our AI-edge by equipping more staff with such skillsets that are relevant to the future of banking.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ms Jenny Wong, Head of Group Human Resources, United Overseas Bank (UOB) said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cEnsuring that our people have the relevant skillsets and agile mindsets is a priority at UOB. The AIF will complement our suite of training programmes aimed at deepening the digital capabilities of our colleagues. Through the programme, our people will have a deeper understanding of AI in order to harness the technology for enhanced performance and a more instinctive customer experience.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>The online course<\/h3>\n<h4>Lecturers<\/h4>\n<p>Over <strong>20 industry insiders and thought leaders<\/strong>, from China to US, from regulators to banks to tech giants to start-ups to venture investors, come together for a practical look at the <strong>world of AI in Finance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Lecturers include Dr Ayesha Khanna, Co-Founder and CEO of ADDO.AI (Singapore); Mr Jon-Tzen Ng, CIO at Ping An Technology (Shanghai); Dr Stephan Murer, former global CTO at UBS (Zurich); and Dr Winnie Cheng, CTO and CDS at Flowcast (New York).<\/p>\n<p>Guest speakers are also coming from <strong>leading organizations<\/strong> such as the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), Citi Ventures, Standard Chartered Bank or IBM Watson Group.<\/p>\n<h4>The programme<\/h4>\n<p>The course will be conducted <strong>entirely online<\/strong>, and includes <strong>18 modules<\/strong> that cover a wide range of topics, from the <strong>basics of AI technology<\/strong> to the implementation of <strong>AI at the strategic level<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Patrice Choong, Director for The Sandbox, NP\u2019s innovation and enterprise office that is spearheading the joint development of AIF with CFTE, explained:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cParticipants will be exposed to industry insights and real-life case studies to ensure that the content is\u00a0relatable to them. For example, there are already applications of AI in areas such as insurance, credit scoring and customer service. All these case studies will form part of the course content and discussion.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The online course will be <strong>released on monday the 25th<\/strong> and is applicable to <strong>any finance division<\/strong>: capital markets, front office, compliance, risk management or insurance.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfte.education\/aifinance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">REGISTER HERE<\/a><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p>AIF\u2019s robust ecosystem not only offers participants <strong>access to thought leaders<\/strong> in the industry, AI startups and finance companies that have adopted AI, but also provides <strong>potential opportunities<\/strong> in the form of <strong>internships and jobs<\/strong> as well as a <strong>supportive community<\/strong> that possesses a <strong>wealth of knowledge<\/strong> in the financial sector.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ngee Ann Polytechnic and Centre for Finance, Technology and Entrepreneurship (CFTE) are about to launch AI in Finance (AIF), the first online programme for finance professionals.
