"Tech Trends To Watch" with Areiel Wolanow, MD of Finserv Experts (Bristol, UK)

"Buzzwords are about the things that are coming, not the things
we already have" 


Joining us during a business visit to China, Areiel
Wolanow is an experienced business leader and former CPA with
over 25 years spent working with leading corporations, central
banks and financial regulators around the world. He was one of
IBM’s key thought leaders in blockchain, machine learning, and
financial inclusion, a topic particularly close to his heart.
Currently serving as insurance industry advisor for the UK
Parliament’s working group on blockchain, his long experience
enables him to shake up perceptions and provide disruptive
insights borne of his work at all levels of the profession - as
we'll hear in his conversation with AICPA & CIMA's Zinaida
Mahmutefendic.


 


WE DISCUSS:


Digital transformation of business and organisational
activities.

AI & RPA and whether they're really as progressive and
innovative as we might think.

Tactical advantages.

Blockchain.

Financial Inclusion.

RegTech and other buzzwords - GDPR/AI.

The other IOT. Is it "Internet of Things" or "Intelligence of
things"?
