This roundtable reflects Elevandi’s commitment to supporting inclusive policy making in AI & Quantum, which included the 2023 Singapore FinTech Festival’s Outlook of AI and report “Global AI Governance: Convergence or Fragmentation?”.

Financial services (FS) have much at stake and much to contribute to the AI technology and standards work currently underway; however, FS firms and their regulators are not necessarily at the center of the debate. Financial grade validation and trust are essential for new developments in GenAI and LLM to be fully employed for customer facing use cases in financial services. The increasing move to third party models and technology development outside the firewall are challenging the well-established governance frameworks FIs had put in place for predictive AI and machine learning. At the same time, existing data and cloud access frameworks are integral to determining how AI develops, is accessed, and the outcomes it delivers for the economy.

Moving forward, links between roles, standards, technology design, and data frameworks will determine the trajectory for AI development and outcomes across markets. Operating under the theme of Forming Frontier Tech, this roundtable led by the Institute for International Finance will convene industry leaders, technical experts, and policy makers in a dialogue to identify key points and links between technology design and development, standards and regulations, the path for adoption, and the prospects for deployments.

This roundtable reflects Elevandi’s commitment to considering the social implications of frontier technologies. This included the value of Generative AI to consumer financial protection, and the need to build consumer protection in to AI and Web3 at the Singapore FinTech Festival in 2023.

In an era where financial scams have become increasingly sophisticated, the true extent of their rise remains debated - are we witnessing an actual surge, or is heightened reporting amplifying their presence?

This roundtable session under our Forming Frontier Tech theme will explore the lifecycle of financial scams, focusing on how the rise of digital assets and AI has both facilitated these scams and provided new tools for combating them. Participants will delve into the impact of emerging technologies on Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and onboarding processes within financial services such as cross-border payments and financial instrument investments.

Discussion points:
I. The Journey of a Scam:
- Tracing the evolution of financial scams from traditional methods to sophisticated digital schemes.
- Identifying key stages and tactics used by fraudsters in the digital age.

II. Impact of Emerging Technologies:
- Analysing whether the incidence of financial scams has increased due to advancements in technology or if heightened awareness has led to more reporting.
- Evaluating how AI and digital assets have lowered entry barriers for fraudsters and examining case studies of recent scams.

III. Combating Scams with Technology:
- Discussing innovative applications of AI and blockchain in detecting and preventing fraud.
- Exploring how advancements in KYC and AML technologies can strengthen onboarding processes and enhance security.

The following key industry stakeholders will champion the dialogue:
- Policymakers will highlight their roadmaps for updating the regulatory frameworks to support defenses against scams.
- Financial and professional services will showcase the proactive adoption of cutting-edge technologies to safeguard against fraud.
- Investors will drive the importance of robust fraud prevention measures in the companies they invest in.

The session aims to produce a collaborative action plan detailing:
- Specific technological tools and practices to implement for improved scam detection and prevention.
- Recommendations for policymakers to foster a supportive regulatory environment.
- Strategies for financial services organisations to integrate advanced technologies into their security protocols.
- Guidance for investors on promoting and supporting fraud prevention measures within their investments.
- A commitment to ongoing dialogue and cooperation among industry stakeholders to stay ahead of emerging threats.
