The FinTech Association of Hong Kong (FTAHK) was pleased to co-host the “Creating an AI Ready Economy” forum with Citi and Mastercard. The event successfully fostered a crucial dialogue on the future of AI in Financial Services for Hong Kong. We are witnessing a pivotal shift from isolated proofs-of-concept to company-wide AI transformation. This change is amplifying impact but also introducing new challenges for all organisations. As the technology evolves rapidly, the industry is learning how to move boldly yet responsibly with the necessary guardrails in place. We commend initiatives like Citi's that involve compliance teams from the onset and invest in workforce readiness. The #FTAHK is proud to act as a super-connector for this essential industry-wide conversation, uniting regulators, financial institutions, and innovators to ensure Hong Kong's continued leadership as an AI-ready financial hub.
