AI is changing how financial institutions approach risk, compliance, customer engagement and operations. But as adoption accelerates, a fundamental question remains: 

How do we build a clearer, shared understanding of where AI is being applied, what is working and what we can learn from it?

As global financial and technology leaders converge in Singapore for the 

Centre for Finance, Technology and Entrepreneurship (CFTE)

, marking an important step towards shared knowledge and international collaboration in AI-driven finance.

, the AI in Finance Observatory aims to turn innovation into structured knowledge creating a shared language to classify AI use cases and a growing evidence base of real-world implementations across financial services.

CFTE's expertise in capability building, applied research and ecosystem engagement
