To the supervisors and fellow regtech enthusiasts in my network: I believe you will find this almost as thrilling as the weekly push of regulatory updates!

Uncover insights and innovations for digital financial supervision by securing your attendance at SupTech Week 2024! Taking place online the 9-13 December, the largest, global gathering of leading #suptech experts is hosted by Cambridge SupTech Lab with content partner World Economic Forum. 👉 Register by visiting https://lnkd.in/gSYdM4wz 👈 Sessions will dive into timely topics that align with the latest trends and innovations in financial supervision. We welcome Irene Venter, ADAM DIAKITE, Khadijah Kishimba, Prester Mbiwa, MSc, CISA, and Nalukwago Milly Isingoma led by the Lab’s Juliet Ongwae, PhD. discussing “Unlocking Africa’s Suptech Potential” on 12 December. Suptech has emerged as a transformative solution to the challenges of financial authorities in sub-Saharan Africa, empowering them with tools to improve sector-wide monitoring, protect consumers, and streamline supervisory processes. This panel brings together African #regulators to discuss critical pathways for integrating #suptech, from initial diagnostic assessments to scalable deployment strategies. We’ll explore best practices tailored to Africa’s needs, ways to address risks and challenges they face without suptech, and innovative, cost-effective models that make suptech accessible. Join us for an insightful discussion on how suptech can pave the way for enhanced financial supervision across Africa! 💡 View the complete SupTech Week agenda here: https://lnkd.in/ghZea4Y6 #digitaltransformation #financialsupervision #techinnovation #AI #consumerprotection #marketmonitoring

Looking back at when our CGO Rapelang Mashobane VC P was a Co-Moderator of the Digital Innovators Summit by Sky Alpha HD hosted by Limkokwing University of Creative Technology. The theme of the summit was/ is to curb and mitigate Disinformation and Misinformation that is possible through the use or abuse of Artificial Intelligence. #DIS2024 #artificialintelligence #DigitalInnovators #Mission2025

Had a wonderful learning experience attending the Canada Competition Summit today. The morning panel discussions around AI Tech Stacks and how it is changing competition game, was the perfect start to the Summit #CBSummit. Dr. Jennifer Quaid suggested a direct approach, whereby akin to securities regulation, competition compliance from the big tech can be fostered by seeking industry continuous disclosure. It does raise a point for debate- Will this approach assist to increase productivity and competition in Canada, or will it mar growth and investment in smaller tech start-ups. A more inward approach is the 'Project Gretzky' which David Lawrence, explained is having a robust internal team of data scientists, software engineers and tech analysts, that will equip the competition regulator to prepare guidelines and compliance rules to combat Algorithmic Pricing and AI Collusion. Have to agree with Siddharth Hiregowdara and Matthew Boswell, the AI truck is approaching and is going to hit the market hard. So if we enagage with the AI Tech stakeholders with a purpose to find remedies, we will still be able to promote innovation and deliver the best to the consumers. #competitionlaw #CBSummit #AIandCompetition #OECD #FTC #competitionbureauofcanada

LIVE: Closing session at European Economic and Social Committee #CivSocWeek 2024! Our colleague Elisa Lironi presents the outcomes of the session on digital transformation. ➡️ EU must foster more robust partnerships between governments, educational institutions & technology providers. ➡️ We need to bridge the Digital Divide for Civil Society.  ➡️ AI is here to stay, and it is important that the EU is not left behind in the digital transformation process that is happening worldwide. @EU2024 - source: EESC

It was a pleasure to have presented two of our papers virtually at #SASBE2024, hosted by the AUT School of Future Environments in Auckland, New Zealand, from 7-9 November 2024. https://www.sdsbe2024.com/ First Paper – A Proposed Framework for Enhanced Interoperability in Smart Cities through Unified City Information Modeling (UCIM): This study introduces a UCIM framework designed to standardize and harmonize data flows and operational processes within smart city ecosystems, offering a solution for improved interoperability. Second Paper – "Emerging Policies for Ethical and Effective AI Implementation in Smart Cities": This paper examines the landscape of emerging policies guiding the ethical and effective use of AI in smart cities. Using a SWOT analysis, the study evaluates AI policies in three Northern European countries— the United Kingdom, Norway, and Denmark—highlighting strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with each approach.

💡Just came across this fantastic post from Kunal Suri, PhD and I had to share it! It highlights how #intelligent #robotics has become essential for the #many industries. Personally, I think this is especially relevant because it shows #progress #innovation #growth. What do you all think? Share your thoughts in the comments below. #Adra #CEA #BVDA #EBVDF24

Digital infrastructure forms technological bridges and roads that support modern economic growth in many developing countries. Yet, three digital divides exist. Here's how AIIB is investing to help bridge the #digitaldivide:👉 https://bit.ly/3GeIeCb
