Launching the WAIFC AI Project: A Collaborative Exploration of AI in Finance

WAIFC has launched a global AI Project to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the financial industry through collaboration across leading international financial centers.

The WAIFC is proud to announce the launch of its AI Project, a joint initiative engaging our members composed of International Financial Centers worldwide. This strategic effort aims to explore the impact and potential of artificial intelligence across the global financial sector.

The project is built around an in-depth AI Survey, currently being completed by all WAIFC members. Their collective insights will serve as a foundation for identifying emerging trends, opportunities, and challenges related to AI adoption in financial markets.

The initiative is being coordinated by Philippe Richard, Executive Director at Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and esteemed WAIFC board member. Under his guidance, the project is set to capture best practices from across financial centers, contributing to a shared understanding of how AI can shape the future of finance.

Beyond mapping the current state of AI implementation, the WAIFC AI Project aspires to foster international collaboration, highlight policy innovation, and support the responsible use of artificial intelligence in finance.

Stay tuned as we continue to share findings and insights from this groundbreaking initiative.
