She described the conference as a strategic learning platform aimed at increasing awareness and deepening understanding of Artificial Intelligence tools and applications that can make financial services cheaper, faster, safer, and more accessible.
SUPERNEWS Nigeria’s decision to focus on AI in this year’s event, she added, stems from its commitment to equipping stakeholders with the knowledge required to embrace emerging tech innovations in an increasingly digital financial environment.
