The 9th International Conference on Smart Finance
Theme: Embracing Challenges and Transformation: Smart Finance in AI Era
The 9th International Conference on Smart Finance (ICSF2024), is scheduled to take place on July 27-28, 2024. The venue is the International Institute of Finance at The University of Science and Technology of China, located in Hefei, China. The International Conference on Smart Finance (ICSF), established in 2016, is a crucial platform for facilitating collaboration between academic scholars and industry leaders in the rapidly evolving field of Smart Finance. The first ICSF was sponsored by a grant from the National Science of Foundation for promoting collaborations among scholars in China, Hong Kong, and Macao and was held in Shenzhen by City University of Hong Kong. Over the years, the conference has been hosted in various cities including Guangzhou, Beijing, Beidaihe, and Dubai.
Smart Finance is research and development about FinTech in the intersection of data-driven technologies (AI, blockchain, big data analytics and data science) and new finance (cryptocurrency, crowdfunding, supply chain finance, and e-payments). As the digital landscape continues to evolve with advancements like large language models and immersive 3D technologies, these elements have become integral to the framework of FinTech, shaping the future of Smart Finance. A significant challenge in the AI era is harnessing these technologies for financial applications. These AI models, such as ChatGPT and Sora, have the potential to revolutionize financial services, from personalizing financial advice to automating complex financial analyses. However, the use of these technologies in finance also poses new challenges, including ethical considerations, data privacy issues, and the need for regulatory frameworks to ensure their responsible use. ICSF plays a pivotal role in addressing these challenges. It promotes industrial best practices and government regulations, facilitates academic research on industrial standards and theoretical advances, and fosters collaboration between industries and academia to explore unprecedented opportunities. The conference includes keynotes, speeches, panels, and paper presentations, covering a wide range of research areas including big data finance, internet finance, and financial intelligence. Through this platform, ICSF2024 is driving the conversation on how to effectively harness AI and large language models in the financial sector.
