"FinTech is not just about the changes in finance and technology, but the impact it has on human behavior and the way our economy and society operate," said Jaclyn Tsai, Honorary Chairwoman of TFTA and former Minister without Portfolio of Taiwan's Executive Yuan in charge of digital policies. "AI and blockchain are two key technologies shaping the future of FinTech, while also presenting significant challenges. We find ourselves at a crucial juncture and FinTechOn 2024 is a unique platform where we exchange learnings from global experiences for better practice in regulation and combating crimes."
