Day 1

Deploying machine learning systems in the finance sector presents a significant challenge due to the risk of inadequate performance once operational, which could lead to substantial losses or missed profits. This issue currently hampers the widespread use of potentially valuable ML-based algorithms and systems, many of which, as presently realised, are likely to suffer from suboptimal performance and inherent vulnerabilities.

The root of this problem lies in the absence of effective methods and tools for assuring the robustness of machine learning models such as decision trees and neural networks. While traditional software validation processes are well-established, ensuring the reliability of AI systems has so far remained problematic.

In this presentation, we will explore newly developed techniques in the realm of formal robustness verification for neural networks and decision trees. These innovative methods not only automatically detect vulnerabilities but also enhance the robustness of these systems, offering much-needed assurance in fields as critical as aviation.

Despite the unique complexities and challenges of the financial sector, adopting these robustness verification methods could be crucial. This approach would facilitate the rigorous validation of ML-based systems prior to their deployment, enhancing their reliability and performance in real-world financial environments, as well as enabling the rollout of innovative and effective solutions.

Shift Towards B2B Embedded Finance: While Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) initially sparked discussions around Embedded Finance, the focus is shifting towards Business-to-Business (B2B) applications. Specifically, Embedded Finance is poised to address the significant gap in SME trade financing. This highlights a strategic pivot from consumer-centric to business-centric applications within the Embedded Finance landscape.

Opportunities and Risks: Embedded Finance presents substantial opportunities for innovation and market disruption, particularly in addressing financial gaps for SMEs. However, it also brings significant risks. As such, stakeholders must carefully navigate these risks while capitalizing on the opportunities presented by Embedded Finance initiatives.

Continued Evolution: The Embedded Finance narrative is far from static; it is continually evolving. As we move into 2024 and beyond, we can expect further developments and expansions within the Embedded Finance ecosystem.
